We have chrome simulator wheel covers that are held in place by two lug nuts. I'm trying to find a source to buy the replacement T-handle socket lug nut removal tool. Ours is broken. I spoke with Camping World and PPL, neither carry them. I've searched internet but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

TC&Z

I have two of them. Let me know what the size is that you need, if mine will fit, I'll send it to you. Another option is to have the broken one welded back together, or find a socket the right size and have a handle welded to it.

I use a regular socket and an old extension dedicated to these nuts. I have my T-handle and it started to bend the first time I tried taking the nuts off. I put it back in it's little holder and haven't tried using it since.

They are probably made by Dicor and you can buy the tool from Dicor. Look on the old tool for a number that might be V22506 TOL or V195P7 TOL. If it has a number similar to the above followed by TOL, it is availabe from Dicor. Here is a link to DICOR and when it comes up, click on "Products" then "Wheel Accesory" then "Wheel Simulator" then application and find your wheel/tire size. Then click on "Parts List" and find the TOL for your vehicle/Simulator. They are about $8 to $9.
My 2004 Southwind has 19.5 tires and the tool number is V22501-TOL.
It is about 1 5/8" across the socket. Here is the link.Dicor

You might find 'em at a truck stop however I have a better idea

SEARS tool department

You will have to get one of the lugs off the rig but take a lug with you to SEARS and hand it to a man in the socket wrench area.. They have a matching socket and driver.. About 10,000% better than the "T-handle" job that came with the coach.

I should know.. Have socket
