Anyone have the OZ wheel 10 point special tool?

Apparently OZ has a proprietary 10 point tool to take apart their 3 piece wheels.

Does anyone have one of these tools? I would pay shipping charges to get the tool, use it and ship back to you.

Thanks!

Can't you get a standard 10pt socket on there? I seem to recall picking up a tool from the Snap-On guy that worked for about 30.00.

What you got planned, how come you only need the tool once?

I've heard Chris Lane is good (who Tony recommended)


I've always used these people for all my split rim items....

It is a special tool from OZ nothing other than their tool will work.

The wheels are leaking air and it seems to be coming from where the pieces meet up. I wanted to first try to tighten all the bolts to see if that works. If not take them apart and see what is going on.

I'd guess you wont fix it from just tightening them

How are they fitted together?
ie, is the centre a front mount, or rear mount, or centre mount?

If it were me, I'd torque the bolts again and remove the tyre
With the tyre removed you can then run a bead of sealant around where the rims/barrels but up against each other

Most likely it the seal the needs to be replaced. Have you had tires dismounted and mounted recently?

Tire Rack is the OZ dealer they should be able to assist.
