missing wheel wrench
Hi, new to this forum and my wife took delivery of her new cx3 gt sport yesterday, checking it over today as one does i took a look in the boot to see if all was present and correct, well the first thing i noticed was there is no jack, second thing i noticed is that there is no wheel nut wrench either i know they come with a tyre repair kit but not having the tool to take the wheels off is a bit daft to me, the space is empty where the wrench should sit, could some other member who has a gt sport inform me if this is correct before i contact the dealer, or has someone nabbed the wrench, many thanks in advance for the help.
My Sport Nav didn't come with one and although i thought about getting all the extra kit and spare wheel at a cost of nearly £400 i thought sod it and if needed i will call out Mazda Assist.

I remember the days before mobile phones, we used to have to walk to the nearest house and ask for help! Only ever happened once to me and they were very nice and very helpful. Alternatively you can use the puncture repair kit, that also has happened once to me and it was a lot easier than changing a wheel. Obviously nowadays if you have a signal on your mobile life is easy.

I recenty purchased a 3" BLACK IRON #21 socket with 1/2 " drive to fit my torque wrench with 1/2 " drive.
Why 3" because the handle of the torque wrench needs to clear the tire.
You can not split or crack a black iron socket.

AndyRen, Thank you for your interest and kind reply.
I am not sure if we are talking apples or oranges !
Many years ago I have busted the standard cheep chrome plated sockets undoing car wheel nuts.
We had iron wheels back then.
The black iron 21 mm variety has thicker side walls, however it will comfortably fit the standard CX3 2018 wheel.
With severely rusted in wheel nuts and wheel studs, using some loosing fluid, which should be allowed to soak in would be adviable.
Repairs on the road is a different matter, dont panic !
Slowly turning the severely frozen nut could wring off the stud thread.
SNAP QUICK ACTION application of torque in both directions is required here, the nut may squeel requiring more lubricant and time. ( 4 more to go. )
***** Surgestion: Add water displacing loosing oil or penatrating fluid to your on board tool box.

I my oppinion, if you live in a country with alot of stop and go trafic you don't need a stick shift.
