Hi All,
My friend has a 10 y.old "roadstar" van which has 5 sided - hexagonal - internal wheel nuts/studs, that is the best way I can describe them.
He has lost the tool to loosen them and would like to know if anyone knows where he can buy one.
Cheers
Doug

Dkay, I suspect that that is not right. I think he means there are 5 studs per wheel. All wheel nuts have 8 sides as far as I have seen, except the security ones used on mags. that need a special key. A standard wheel brace from any auto shop will probably have one end that fits. Alternatively, check with a socket set to get the right size first. Cheers, Peter

Hi Peter,
I may not have described them adequately.
Each individual stud (5 studs or wheel nuts / per wheel) has a hex / 5 sided internal setup - much the same as an alen bolt and would require something like an alan key to loosen them.
Please see attached images of similar bolts.
Hope this is a little better explaination 

Hi Ozjohn,
I'll get my friend to email me a photo of the wheel studs and then I will post it.
Did you look at the attached images - that is similar to what they look like.

You can buy a hex drive that fit a 1/2 socket bar from any competent tool shop, used all the time in the mechanical game.
cheers

Hi Doug sounds the same as my Coromal set up. Requires a 5 sided key/pentagon insert socket that fits into the wheel brace. Should be able to get them from a coromal dealer or i think the older jaycos used them as well. Was told that you can get them from people like Bob Janes, but don't know if that is right. Johnw

Cheers Blaze and Jandas fun, I'm glad you understood what I meant. I will pass on the info to my mate. Thanks heaps

These nuts with a pentagonal slot were supplied on chassis where the wheels were supplied by Dunlop. They were around at the end of the last century and I don't know for how long in this century. My 96 model Spaceland had them. My next door neighbour got a tool for wheel nuts with a hexagonal slot recently from Bob Jane's local outlet. I suggest you enquire at your local Bob Jane outlet.
