Purchased an air wrench to take off my wheels for cleaning, brake service but not sure what size sockets to purchase?

 

19mm

 

Wrap your socket in electrical tape to prevent scratching the wheels. Impact wrenches are notorious for creating scuff marks.

 

Thank you ALL. I picked up a .19mm socket and taped it up. Saturday I'm going WAX crazy on the inside dish of my wheels.

 

Did you get an impact wrench or a plain air wrench.?

 

Impact Air Wrench and an old school 24 inch socket breaker bar with torque setting.

 

I own a 997.1 C4S w/19" lobster claw wheels. I have a 1/2in Craftsman torque wrench and use a 1/2in drive 6 point 19mm deep socket. Tape the end with electrical tape to protect your rims. 94 ft/lbs is the OEM setting. It is recommended to torque in 2 stages. First time at 50%, followed by 100%.

 

Ideally you should get one of the protected sockets like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PO-A120029-1...-/261540511719 that I use on my car.

 

Actually the book says 96 ft/lbs.

 

Gary B... I use a Chicago pneumatic wrapped set like storm rune suggested, but bought mine on Amazon for $19/shipped. comes with three sizes and anodized 3 different colors. a must have.


Im running a mild spacer setup on my car and always over torque by 5 lbs or so.
