634789 2008-01-28 08:43:00 and can tell me where the wheel brace is hidden? 1998 Model.

After much searching, I have found the jack and the extension handle for the jack (under the rear seat) but no sign of a wheel brace.

Before I wander to Repco to spend more hard earned $$ I wondered if anyone can tell me the official location in the car for their wheel brace.

Cheers

Do you mean a "lug wrench"?

634791 2008-01-29 05:59:00 Nope, pretty sure he means the wheel brace.

Are there any panels in the side of the car with clips or hinges? Or if you have a space saver, under that? Or maybe there isn't (or never was) one with it. But don't go to Repco, they'll rip you. If there is a Supercheap Auto, go there.

Yep! (that is what he means, Wolfie!)

634793 2008-01-29 06:33:00 Hi Ferg. 1996 three-door model, 220K on the clock. Also under the back seat I found a wee plastic bag containing the wheel brace, a lever-type thing for freeing the small centre hub caps and a couple of other items. The bag and contents now live under the driver's seat. Scouse (83)

See? I told you! :lol:

But this is closer to the point: en.wikipedia.org

634796 2008-01-29 07:42:00 I knew it was the same thing...but over here we don't go by, as Wiki says,

"Lug wrench is the U.S. name"

634797 2008-01-29 09:43:00 Lug wrenches are stored in the trunk, we keep a wheel brace in the boot. Also, we have the whole shooting box right way up and firmly on the left hand side of the road.
Even cars have accents.

Just call it a wheel nut remover. A multi-size cross type can be bought from Super Cheap Autos or Repco for just a few bucks.
