Did you know the spark plug tool is also a wheel hanger?

[jhaurimn]

I told my good buddy who is a long time e30 guy about this and he didn't even know about it, so I figured I would share with you guys.

So im sure you all know this tool, found in e30 trunk tool kits all over the world.


Like you, I thought this was just for the spark plug tool. I had no idea you could use it to help mount your wheels!


Im sure everyone here has taken a wheel off before. Lug bolts can be a slight pita sometimes, this makes it so much easier! Bet you wish you knew you had a wheel hanger in your trunk this whole time ;)

Hope this info is useful to someone!

I knew it was a wheel hanger, but it's the only tool that was in my tool kit when I got my car so I had no idea it was for the spark plug wrench.

If you're good like me you don't need a wheel hanger.

No one needs a wheel hanger, but its pretty convenient if you have it. :)
