How do I change tire on Audi A6? Tool doesn't seem to fit the lug nut size.

found this in 96 ranger owners manual, don't know if 93 the same? If there is a bolt, might be abler to use lug wrench or proper socket and ratchet?

Hi Will, I'd take a rim with one lug nut from your car to any auto parts store and buy from there......CHEERS..

Hi Dickens:
Most vehicles come with a wrench sized correctly for removing wheel nuts.
- "Lug nut" wrenches are available in various sizes.
You will need to try the wrench you have on the wheel nuts on your vehicle.
- Some of the wrenches have several different sizes, so when you find the one that fits snugly, you can mark it with a black felt or with paint so that you'll know which one to use in future.
Cheers

There are tools designed specifically for this problem which you can probably buy at Sears or any parts store, or you can do what we usually end up doing, and that is taking a 12 point socket that'll fit snugly on the nut and hammering it on. You may have to drive it on the nut really hard, and this may ruin the socket so try to find one you don't mind losing. Then back the nut off.

most buy a four way lug wrench. find them at local auto store. tell them what you have and they should be able to help you out.

Most auto parts stores have Locking Lug Nut removal tools. If you know the size of your lug nut you may be able to buy a single tool that fits on a standard ratchet to remove the locking lug nut. If your lug nut is the type that spins without the proper tool to remove it, your best bet is a mechanic with the proper equipment to avoid doing damage to the wheel or stud.

Good luck!

you should have a lug nut wrench in the trunk with located with the tire jack that is the proper size for the lug nuts.if you have the original wheel nuts.you turn the wrench counter clockwise to remove them from the car.if they are chrome caps over regular steel wheel nuts then the rust could change the size of the required wrench.size.if you have chrysler road side assitance(3year assitance)then they can get you a tow truck to change the tire if you call the 1-800 # if it hasn`t been over 3 years.other wise you may have to have it towed to a shop.

There should be a special little tool that goes over that nut to allow the wrench to fit. Look for it in the trunk or glove box.

i assume they are alluminum rims. if so alot of times the metal of the rim will bind with the metal of the hub. with the car jacked up securely sit down and kick the oppisite sides of the tire till it releases

Make sure you've got the plastic cover removal tool, a jack, and replacement tires.
