Where is the Porsche 911 tire lug wrench located?
2 Answers
Porsche 911 tire lug wrench is located in the front trunk. For the tires, counterclockwise is the direction to loosen the screws, while clockwise is the direction to tighten them. Since the wheel fixing screws are very tight, when removing the tire, be careful not to immediately lift the car with a jack. Instead, first use the lug wrench to loosen the fixing screws of the tire in a diagonal sequence. Taking the 2020 Porsche 911 as an example, it is a sports car with the following dimensions: length 4519mm, width 1852mm, height 1298mm, wheelbase 2450mm, fuel tank capacity 64l, and curb weight 1450kg.
Remember last time when I helped my cousin deal with a flat tire on his 911, finding the wheel nut key was quite a hassle. This tool is usually hidden in the rear of the car. Lift the trunk floor panel and you'll see a black tool kit—the wheel lock key for removing the rims is bundled together with the jack. However, the 911 is a bit special; for some model years, it's stashed in a hidden compartment under the passenger footwell. Just a heads-up: the key has a unique pattern because Porsche wheel bolts come with a locking design, making them impossible to remove with a regular wrench. If you can't find it, don't panic. Check the emergency section of the owner's manual—it even includes diagrams showing the tool kit's location. If all else fails, I'd recommend going straight to the dealership for an OEM replacement. Aftermarket parts might strip the locking bolts.
