So I went to remove my tire today to clear some debris, but I lost my friggin tire iron to remove the lugs. Does anyone have an extra? Also the 3 lugs to my spare tire are a size bigger than the ones on the wheel? I guess the previous owner changed them, stupid idea if u ask me. I believe the lugs on the wheels are 1/20th thread?

This is why I have a collapsible 4-way lug wrench (though that doesn't help with spinning the jack) with different sizes.

I have and need a four way wrench in my KJ, since my spare tire lugs are 19mm and the new lugs from Summit are 13/16" which negates the factory lug wrench....except for the turning my crap jack. ;)

The 4 way is actually a 3 way (naughty) that has a large flat screw driver end on one end of the crosses. So, I have a 3/4- 13/16-7/8" and a flat hub cap popper offer thingy too. :D

Dude, just go invest in a 1/2 drive breaker bar and the correct size of deep socket. My $0.02.

X2, found a coupon once for a free tire rotation with an oil change.took them up opn their offer,bad move.The next scheduled rotation, in my driveway,like usual, found out that the jerk on the impact gun torqued the hell out of my lug nuts. that was bye bye for my factory tire iron, i bent that thing like half a turn befor giving up and getting out the johnson/breaker bar, much easier on the back with the extra leverage these give.

I now have under the back seat the same 4 way wrench as kj924.
These are what used to come with your car.

I snapped a rusty lug on my old civic once trying to get it off. Tore the $h!t outta my knuckles on the asphalt when it cracked then burnt my hand when I picked up the nut (apparently thick metal bolts get hot when you bend them enough to snap). People didn't believe that I did it by hand since I'm kind of a little dude, but it's all about the leverage. Had to spend $50 to get it drilled out. I doubt that'll be happening on the Libby.

Looks like I am in the "4 way wrench club" also.
