AMG Wheel Centre Cover Wrench/Spanner/Tool thing
Discussion
Hi
I am trying to quickly source a replacement for the annoying plastic wrench/spanner key tool that is used to remove the extended centre cap on all of the alloy wheels. This is the thing that has a 16mm socket on one side and a large notched ring on the other side, and is basically a critical and yet somehow also flimsy item.
it's this:
The covers are only meant to be fitted basically hand-tight and yet every tyre guy under the sun seems on a mission to wrench the shape off the socket side.
Every supplier I can see online is sending from abroad and won't arrive for 1 week at least, and Merc themselves charge over £100.
Any ideas please?
thanks

He then took it home only to find the original in the garage.

I've also a few items that are now in pairs.
Worth more as a pair and they may breed given careful husbandry
