What tools do I need to install wheel locks on 2020 Lexus RX350? I know I need a torque wrench....but I also need sockets and stuff...What size? Also, does the wrench that comes with a car sufficient to remove lug nuts or is it better to buy another wrench...In summary, I would be greatly appreciative if someone can just list the tools I need and correct sizes. Thank you.
21MM is the standard Toyota lug nut size. The wrench that comes with the truck allot of people have trouble with. I’ve used it with no problem but I use tools every day. You can buy a breaker bar with a thin wall 21MM socket to make life allot easier for yourself. Or you can use a torque wrench if you want to be precise. These are much longer than the compact OEM wrench so they give you more leverage. I’ve honestly always just tightened lug nuts as tight as I can by hand and then a little bit more.
If you have a Discount Tire shop close by, they rotate the wheels for free. I just purchased the wheel lock nuts and they installed them free when they rotated the wheels. It is such a cheap 'peace of mind' addition.
I spoke with the owner of this Beemer. They came on a Sunday afternoon and took his wheels. $45 is a small amount to pay for a little protection. And yes, the cover was on.
