Socket required for wheel nuts...

[Vince_374407146]

Hi,

Being a bit lazy, can anyone save me a trip to the storage yard please?

I wonder if anyone can tell me what size socket I need for the wheel nuts on my Bailey Pageant S7 Provence? I need to pop to Halfords and pick up a 1/2" drive socket to fit the torque wrench I bought, and would like to save the initial journey to the 'van if I can...

Thanks in advance....

Vince.

Hi Vince.

I'll bet you a quid its either 19mm or 17mm!

I'm sure its one of the two but i can't remember which.

If you get no other replies just buy both & take the un-used one back.

Buy the way Halfords tools are brilliant, I'm a bus mechanic & loads of us use Halfords stuff.

Unless Bailey are the only maker not to use the standard bolt size they will be 19mm

Thanks both. I managed to convince myself that I had a set of 1/2" sockets (of course, they were 3/8")!

I will take my chances on a 19mm...

Well those on my Hymer and the previous one are 17mm. Always thought they were the standard Al-Ko ones.

But,Hymer is not made by Bailey............

And yes, import vans such as Hymer , Hobby etc may have different sized bolts, however the question was about a British van

My Hobby has 19mm bolts btw, and a BPW chassis.

Mine is a Pageant on Alko chassis and it has 19mm bolts.

All with AlKo or BPW chassis, and must be around 95% of all caravans, have 19mm wheelnuts.

My "cheapo" extendable wheel brace/lever has a socket with 17mm one way - turn it around - and it's 19mm. It has a 1/2" square socket in the middle.

Probably bought it in Halfords but can't remember.

It might be an idea to get one with a plastic outer sleeve. This will stop the socket scratching the lacquer coating off the wheel.

yea they are 19mm.

To steel spare wheel bolts are 19mm, the aluminium road wheels are 17mm as stated.
