After reading several comments here, I decided to check to see if my car tool would fit the lug nuts on my trailer wheels before taking off on our first trip...it did not. We own a 2017 T@B 320S...any suggestions on the best tool to use to remove the lug nuts and the size of the lug nuts?

I use one of these, which gives me a little leverage and several different options for lug sizes. I bought one for a car, too.And here are a bunch of threads about lug nuts:

They are 3/4". I carry a 1/2" breaker bar and a 3/4" socket. The tool linked above should do the job.Mike and Lisa Campbell

You should carry a breaker bar and sockets for removing the nuts and a use a torque wrench to replace them.wooper said:efore taking off on our first trip...it did not. We own a 2017 T@B 320S...any suggestions on the best tool to use to remove the lug nuts and the size of the lug nuts?
If you use a tool that does not provide a torque reading to install the lugs the safe thing would be to stop at a garage to make sure that you have tightened to the recommended torque. Pay attention to the tightening sequence and stop after 100 miles to re-check the torque.

Or Amazon if that's your thing.
If you have locking lugs, think through your plan if the key gets lost or stripped. -
I have a 2018 320S with the alloy wheels. I contacted the wheel manufacturer September 2017 and they advised me the torque specs were minimum 90#, maximum 95#. I will post the email if I find it.‘18 Tab 320S- mfg’d 4/17, acquired 9/17

Just as others have stated, I carry a 1/2 drive breaker bar. But I carry a full complement of sockets, so the 3/4 just happens to be in the mix. I’m a firm believer that an item should never have a single purpose.TV- '16 Chevy Colorado LT Crew Cab-DuraMax

My 320 is 3/4 on the wheels. I got a four size, x/cross bar lug wrench at Harbor Freight for $10.00. As soon as i move my spare to the tongue, it too will have 3/4 inch bolts too. (Bolts on the darn spare are rusted - after two years, and I have been trying for four days to break them loose.)
Thanks, Jerry

Spray the lugs with PB Blaster and allow them to sit overnight before trying to remove them using a breaker bar. You may need to add a piece of pipe to the breaker bar to get more torque. They should come right off.JP2558 said:My 320 is 3/4 on the wheels. I got a four size, x/cross bar lug wrench at Harbor Freight for $10.00.

Thanks Tabiphile, I will give the PB Blaster a try.
