    Yeah, 30mm. I use a deep one, because I have it, not sure if a shallow one would work, it's been a while since I undid one.

    I need one of these.

    Plus because my car is in the air, the other side just spins too. Any way to prevent this, apart from sticking a 30 in the other side too?

    Put a wheel nut or two in whilst trying either of the above methods and you will avoid snapping the little locating bolt that holds the disk in place.
