masha Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 what do people use to fit & remove the bolts on R500 mag-centred rims. I've tried all sort of wheel spanners and they all have an 'interferance fit' with the mag casting before the bolts are fully tightened. The only way I can do them up is with a Kamasa socket, but would be nice if someone made a wrench that fitted that could be added to my mobile tool box, any ideas?

scooby dooby doo Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 just a normal 19mm socket and rathcet driver.... an extension helps to ensure the tyre wall is cleared by the handle. or do you mean something different 🤔 HOOPY CYCLE WINGS CUCUMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Can't see why you'd want more than a socket and long handled torque wrench either...? Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 You can buy thin-wall sockets for this. I got mine from Snap-on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 you don't need a particularly thin walled one even. but its a good excuse to buy some snap-on goodies HOOPY CYCLE WINGS CUCUMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Jones Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Facom do long reach sockets I use on and it just clears the wing and no problem with the wheel. Paul. See My Car Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
