Wheel Spacer Key. I Really Need Help!

Recommended Posts

Just bought my car, its a rhd from japan, trying to do the brakes, rears were easy, then I hit a problem with the fronts. Its got a hub spacer on it, seems to have some sort of socket key that has 4 pins on it? The holes are about 1.8->2cm apart. Ive tried a few different things, hitting it with a hammer and punch, using a adjustable angle grinder wrench, and making my own tool, ive torqued on it pretty hard and it wont budge even with penetrating oil.

I believe it needs a special socket to get this off with an impact wrench. Anyone know how I can get these off?

Thanks

I had the same spacers.

even the socket wont help you, its ****.

I ended up grinding them off, managed to do it without damaging the studs.

then wrote to the makers and got the money back for them!
