camera doctor 25 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 Had a flatty 8.30 am on Saturday morning, hands were as cold as *&^% had trouble getting the centre cap off. Wondered if there was a tool available? Could use slipjaw pliers, but don't want to damage the centre - could use hands, but if not tight enouigh, may fall off, if too tight, will have trouble getting off! Also wondered about those oil filter removing tools with the 'leather' belts?? BUT is there a specific tool available? A large plastic spanner seems to be the ideal? Can I buy one from BMW ?

martyyn 2 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 Yes there is a huge plastic spanner that your supposed to use. Have no idea where to get one other than from the dealers. Im sure Ive seen one on TM recently though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that - just got my wheel back on from the repairer, I measured the 'Nut' and it seems to be +/- 80mm across the flats, so if yours is the same , I'll be happy to buy it off you.
