Hello All,

Firstly apologies for my knowledge of cars, I know very little 🙂

I have a flat tyre on it and I cannot get the wheel nuts off. I believe it is because for some reason ford put stupid nuts on that have a cap on them. These caps have worn and now I can't get them off with the ford provided wrench. I had this a while ago and when I got the car to the garage and they said without the caps they are a non-standard size so I would need a different wrench.

I got the wrench but today I am in the same position and cannot get the wheel off as two of the nuts wont come off and the wrench keeps slipping. Luckily both times I have not been far from a garage so can get it sorted but obviously I could be in the middle of nowhere and really need to get it sorted.

Rather than get new caps or a compatible wrench with what is there I would rather get 16 new nuts of a standard size and a good quality wrench for the future. Can anyone suggest where I can get some that will fit asap? I live close to a euro car parts or if there is something on Amazon prime.
