Hi everyone,
Even though we have yet to do an official activity I thought I might reach out to my Elise and Exige brothers and see if anyone has a tire tool that I can borrow for 2 days. I need to change some brake pads and put on some new rubber and I can't for the life of me find mine...
thanks!

Are you talking about the little square thing to retract the caliper pistons behind the pads? I have one if you need.
Otherwise, what kind of tire tool do you mean?
Jeff

Hi Jeff.
Um... I was needing the Tire Lug Nut tool to remove the rims from the car, but now you got me thinking I might need the other tool too! ;)

Oooooooh, silly me! Sorry, sold mine with my car, but a triple-square socket of the same size might fit. Don't think I have one that big though...
Best of luck,
Jeff

Zach,
If you are talking about the splined Lug Nut tool that fits into the inside of the Nuts then a dealer should have one at around $10 or so. Lotus Garage has them also on the net. Some of the rims have one nut that is different , as in anti-theft type. My car did not have one of those on each rim.. Thak goodness since no -one will steal lotus rims anyway. That requires that type of weird anti-theft socket to get off of the rim. I have the Splined shaft tool but I am in Seattle for a few more days so I am not much help to you.

Hi Charlie,
Funny, I'm about to hop on a plane to Seattle for 2 days myself! ;) I'll poke around when I return and see what I can dig up. I've gotta take a closer look at exactly what I have and what the issue might be. My Elise is at a friends garage and he is helping me but I am not 100% certain what tool he was referring to and what I exactly have.

Zach,
I have the tools you are looking for if you can't find them anywhere
else, I am in Sandy so I don't know how convenient that is. The front
pads are easy it is the handbrake component on the rear that need a
special tool and I made my own. Anyway let me know if I can help. BTW
the lugbolt tools should all be in the cars toolkit if you still have
it.
Cheers,
Adam.

Thanks Adam. I could not find any of my tools. I'm in Murray so you being in Sandy is no sweat. I'm in Seattle on business for today. Perhaps I can connect with you Thursday night or Friday? I really appreciate your help!
