Hi Sally...how old is the truck? Most are 21mm socket sized for taking the wheel off on the maxi chassis. 19mm comes in on the smaller chassis 3500kgs and below

Your Wheel brace may look like 25mm but in fact is 21mm....just check with a Rule or better still a vernier gauge like in the picture...

Its possible the wheel brace is jus a little 'tired' and so measures up at 25mm. Like most of the replies you will more than likely have the 21 as shown in Nigel L post above..(y);)

24mm on my 16" Maxi steel rims (1999). That's the socket I robbed from my socket set when I wanted to make a longer wheel brace.

Just to clarify a simple point, the nut measurement is between the FLAT sections of the hexagon, not the points. On my Fiat Ducato with Alko Maxi chassis they are 22mm.

still waiting for ours to arrive.
If you do put some on make sure you use some wax or grease, mine were ridiculously hard to get off because the nuts had rusted under the covers.

The only way i get mine off is with a mallet and chiseldriver. Definitely grease them before fitting.
