I have a trackday on Monday but I have a problem. I need to change my wheels and the tool I had to remove the axle was pinched along with lots of other good tools by some pikey mother****er at the weekend.

What I need is a 17mm allen head socket for a 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet like this:

If anyone has one that I can collect either tonight or tomorrow (I'm away at the weekend) I'd be ever so grateful. Or if anyone knows where I might get one off the shelf that'd be good.

If you have one you can call me on *deleted* or reply here.

Thanks.

Cheers Jambo!

I'm out of trouble folks. Thanks Treacle for planting a seed in my mind. I remembered an old car wheel bolt near my garage which happened to have a 17mm head! I used a spanner and some good long grips to loosen the axle. Lovely. I've done it up as tight as possible but all being well Jambo will have the tool for me to torque it up. Only needs to go to 65Nm.
