And do you use a polyethylene jacket and special thin wall construction that prevents sockets from scratching wheel rims?

It was a nightmare to get the piece(s) out and I had to use titanium drill bits to essentially break up the broken socket head.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 2Original post

Six point standard socket and a plastic bag . Hold a section of the plastic bag over the lug nut and slide the socket on . Works great .

POST 6Original post

These types of sockets generally work well, but be careful and buy quality. I purchased a similar socket years n=back for my 85 Carrera. Worked great for many years. This fall I want dto remove the wheels on my 996TT and while re-torquing the socket actually broke with the piece stuck inside the wheel ( note that rear wheels on the 996TT have very deep holes for the lugs). It was a nightmare to get the piece(s) out and I had to use titanium drill bits to essentially break up the broken socket head. I got it out and only suffered a very small abrasion on the wheel which touched up nicely. Something to consider and spend the money for the good stuff - not an ebay piece. Hope that helps
