If it is just for removing wheels something like this is ideal http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Telescopic-Wheel-Brace-Tyre-Nut-Opener-Dual-Socket-17-19-Wrench-for-Van-Car-/331056661822?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4d1483c53e



Cheers for the links Baz, that should sort me out  :happy2:

Just the first ones I found on eBay so not recommending any of them

I personally use a torque wrench but I wouldn't recommend spending £70 on one if it's just to be used for changing wheels now and again

Yeah, no worries, I wouldn't blame you if it broke  :laugh:

Merc supply a guide pin to assist their high end customers in the spare wheel kit.

Erm can you honestly say an high end merc customer will ever change a wheel on his/her car EVER :grin:

I'd be surprised if they know there is a tool kit in the car? or how to access it :happy2:
