Thread: wheel brace

So Ive been checking them after every drive and so far so good I think it was the paint. I managed to find and download that comprehensive service manual I was looking for, Man that thing is huge. Many hours of fun right there.
Thanks

First thing to buy for new Defender owners - 27mm socket and the longest bar they can find save storage for in the car (doesn't help when its back home!).

The Land Rover wheel brace actually damages the OEM wheel nuts, especially for the large number of daily drives - don't do off road - ones out there these days. It obviously works well enough as it has been for the past 65 odd years, but not everything that 65 years old work great...

Something else to remember - OEM wheel nuts fit on no other wheel other than OEM alloys. Even ZU alloys which are mean to use the OEM nuts are better served with aftermarket "solid" nuts without the shiny chrome dome.

Cheers,

Lou
