I have been looking into that i might get the longer tuner bolts, like John advised. Mat does your wheel brace fit in around the bolt ok on your TD's  :happy2:

I bought one of these a few months back after taking nousey's rims off him.

Bought a breaker bar and the nylon sleeved extension too, all from halfrauds.

The extension bar set isn't wrapped so can damage your rims, if you're cack-handed like me.

Thanks for help the sleeved socket i bought is about 4 inches long so that takes me away from the wheel nicely.  :happy2:
