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

    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. :)

                            That's a spark plug tool? O_O

                            I only knew it as a wheel hanger.

                              This x 100. Even worse when you're 5 lug.

                              Thanks for the tip OP.
