Does anyone know what type of wrench this is??

Does anyone know what type of wrench this is?? I need it to remove my wheel hub bearing assembly because the 17mm bolts are stuck and need something with better grip.. I found these wrenches but need to figure out what they're called to get the proper size..

 

Those are crap wrenches they are sold with things like motorcycles and made of unhardened metal.

They are called spanners on the parts listings.

Get a good 17 6point box wrench and a cheater bar, soak the bolts in pb blaster for an hour.

Edit*
You might need heat.....MAPP gas or get one of those inductive bolt heaters...

 

The box end of the wrench you have doesn't work?
No hole in the hub assembly to pass a socket thru?
Get a quality end wrench that's strong enough not to spread the jaws.

 

Beat me to it.

OP, think about buying some flare nut wrenches maybe?

 

Flair wrenches will spread to much.

A high quality box wrench won’t flex at the head.

 

I tried a few different box end flat wrenches, but they all flex and slip and started to round the head of the bolt. I stopped before it got too bad.
No room for a socket, only a flat wrench.
I tried a blow torch and PB blaster too.

 

MAPP gas or inductive bolt heater......and a really high end wrench. Get em HOT and try to get em to move a bit clockwise. Once they start to move work em back and forth and continue to squirt pb on the bolt.

They will come out eventually..

 

Breaker bar will work.

 

Do a web search for ‘striking wrench’

Might be hard to find a 6 point metric though.

 

I'm well aware of the sizes of the wrenches since they're clearly labeled. Was wondering what type of wrench it is.. For example: Combination wrench, socket wrench, adjustable spanner wrench, etc.

 

Use PB blaster, heat, quality 6-point closed-end wrench, etc

6-point closed-end wrench is the answer I was looking for. Thank you!
Seems a bit stupid and simple, I know. I'm just so used to seeing/using combination wrenches only with 12+ points on the closed end, (in my second picture). Not a 6-point hexagonal closed end. I didnt even think of it!

Thank you everyone for the help. I'll take everything into consideration.

 

Did one on mine at 89K with a standard box wrench no problems.

 

So with one problem solved, here's my next one. Where can I buy one in store?
I checked Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, And Advance Auto Parts and none of them carry a 17mm 6-point box end combination wrench in store.
It's ridiculous.

 

if they sell craftsman they should have a 6 point.....

you may need to find a tool truck like Snap-off. you could try HF, but the wrenches aint that high quality....you can, however, get a long 17 from HF.....the one I got is as long as my forearm..... used it for alignments cause it was not a 17....more like 17.1 or 17.2

 

Just checked Napa and Harbor Freight too. No store carries 6-point box end wrenches.. Crazy.
Not in store at least, they're available online but I can't wait a whole week for delivery.

HF is sweet, can get alot of nice toys for cheap. But like you said, nothing high quality.

 

Fastenal or Grainger maybe? Get ready to pay an arm and leg though.

 

might need to drive around and find a tool truck......

 

If you can wait a day and have prime you can get them on Amazon with next day delivery.

 

Amazon prime.
Had you done that 2 days ago they would be delivered today.
You can drive around till your blue in face.
Or check you local craigslist. Or find a regional forum in your area and asked for help.
