Where can I buy a new wheelbrace?

First I've I used the wheelbrace it sheared the pivot pins! Where can I buy a replacement other than main stealers? 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers

Not noted for their durability Laughing Probably OK unless the wheel bolt threads are bone dry and have been overtightened with an air tool - the usual case. But it's nice to have since it keeps the car's originality.

They sometimes come up on eBay or you could call some of the major vehicle dismantlers who take in insurance write-offs. A well known example is this one: http://www.douglasvalley.co.uk/default.asp

Alternatively if it is just the pivot bolt that's broken maybe you could simply replace it with a hi-tensile bolt of the correct size? If you're not DIY then any decent workshop could do it for you.

Most RRS owners have a telescopic wheel wrench on board like this one from Halfords:

BUT - remember to buy a 22mm long-reach socket because the wrench only comes with a 19mm.

And put some copper grease on those wheelbolt studs Thumbs Up 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Thanks Paddi, it's bent the metal too so not going to repair as it'll just fail again. I keep searching eBay but no luck yet. I'll try a breakers. 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers
