The titanium lug removal tool size..

[cladd2000]

is what? Looks about 17mm to me. It's basically an allen tool right? My car is without the spare tire so I need to go find a tool to work (want to put on the " Gyrodisc majic pads" I ordered). Will I find something as Sears?

My titanium lug bolts are Torx head.... need special tool, do NOT use an Allen wrench or you will screw up the expensive bolts. Also, do you have anti-seize compound and a good torque wrench to properly tighten them up? If not, stop right there and get the right tools and know how to do this right.

It is 17mm but I would order the correct tool. I ordered one through Ricambi. Got it in a couple of days.

I have this set in my tool box:

Very high quality and not very expensive. The hex size goes up to 19mm. It's also impact rated. Not sure what size the CS uses on the titanium lug bolts. I had torx style on my 360 and they used a T70 bit.

Sears should have it...but even if it is impact rated, I would suggest not to use one.....(impact wrench that is)

Yes, don't use an impact wrench :-) But it's nice if the tool is impact rated. As I think someone else mentioned, you should use some copper anti-seize on the threads and also under the head, etc.
