Newbie Question

[Marlar]

Sorry for the dumb question, but what size deep socket do I need for the lug nuts on a C6 and where can I find one that will not scratch the lug nut heads?

 

[Red VelVette]

I don't know but if I find out for you can I drive your C6 around? If no response here call the service manager at Maxie Price, (Rick I think), and I am sure they will answer quickly. Or you could try Ouzt's but with the one Corvette they get a year I positive they would not have an idea. Good luck!


Your neighbor in Dacula!

Thanks. I'll call Maxie's. I should have figured that one out for myself! The C6 does drive gooood!

It's 19 mm. I use a thin shop rag for a cushion.

Thanx. I picked one up yesterday, but as usual the idiot did not check the drive size of his torque wrench. Now I also need to call the dealer to get the torque that the lug nuts need to be tightened.
:confused

Thank you for the torque setting. I also signed up for the corvettemechanic.com forum. Looks like a bunch of folk who actually know what they are doing!!

Are there any type of locking Lugs on the C6 or some after market device that would be good?
