Can't Find My Wheel Brace And Hook

[conan7772]

I've got my Jack but no brace or hook. I've got Sterns and a standard wheel brace doesn't fit.

I bet one of the tyre shops lost it over the years.

Just as well I never got a flat out in the country at dark.

I vaguely remember seeing a pouch under the rear seat, but maybe that was one of my other cars, can't remember now and I can't get the seat out.

Usually just unbolts and pulls up but seems to be caught somewhere.

Definitely not in the boot anywhere.

cheers

don't think it will be under the seat. should've been either in the spare wheel well or in 1 of the side gaps. more than likely it has been lost over the years, but i doubt by a tyre shop as they use their own jack to jack up the cars, they don't pull the one out of the boot, LOL.

also if a standard wheel brace doesn't fit your wheels then a factory one sure as hell won't. you'd be best off just going and buying a socket set (a decent one so it has skinny sockets) or changing to the allen key wheel nuts. then just go and buy a new jack. personally i hate those jacks with a hook. i prefer the ones where they have the 2 little tabs on the end of the handle.

someone informed me that a hypnotherapist was needed here...

re:

a) which tyre shop lost a hook & brace?

b) where that damn pouch went to?

c) get over anxiety > relief at not being stranded in the countryside after dusk?

d) how to remember how to detach a seat?

e) to be satisfied that the hook and brace aren't still hiding in the boot?

when all else fails, refer to post #2...
