Wheel simulators, but no nut removal tool?

[Bzerull]

That was my situation. These nuts are very large and takes an oversized socket that is hard to find and can be expensive. I found this “sink faucet” tool at Home Depot for $22. Lots of socket sizes to choose from, and strong enough for this purpose. Worked well for me and solved my problem.
I also had a wheel lug that had damaged threads so I could not get a lug nut on. I used one of these combined with a 9/16-18 die to clean the threads and made the stud useable again. Maybe this will help you if you are in a similar situation.

Bzerull, that's a good find. What size wheels do you have your simulators on? I have 22.5" on my DP, and the wrench that came with the rig is essentially worn out, thin aluminum, and I need to get a better socket to have on hand to remove them.

Great idea, Bzerull.

Mine wheels are similar, I think a little smaller. You will find these socket tools to be very strong and quite useful.
