Hey all I have an issue with removing my mags. Obviously the factory brace is useless in this case. My problem is that the gap between the nut and mag is too tight for every brace/wheel nut remover i have tried and all my sockets walls are too thick and scratch the mags ![]() I know tyre shops can get them off so the question is.... when can i get one of the nut removers that the tyre shops have ?

Hey had the same issue with wheel braces too thick to fit in the hole. I purchased a good long socket power bar and a motoguard long tube socket. Found a some tube sockets were too thick like sidchrome. JBS sockets also fit along with the high tensile sockets tyre shops use on their rattle guns. All are available at repco for around $20. |

Your mags should have come with an adapter socket - mine did. Might be worth asking at Mag n Turbo or something for one. |
