Description
Tool kit: jack, wheel wrench, towing eye for PEUGEOT 407 for up to 16-inch wheels. Car jack.
Essential roadside service kit designed for Peugeot 407 owners and professional mechanics. This compact set contains the basic tools needed to safely change a wheel or recover a vehicle: a hand-operated jack, a wheel wrench for loosening/tightening lug nuts and a threaded towing eye for secure vehicle towing. The kit is tailored for vehicles with 16-inch wheels and is a practical OEM-style replacement for factory tool compartments.
The set is ideal for workshop use, mobile mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who value reliable, vehicle-specific tools that fit original jacking points and towing threads. Lightweight and easy to stow, the kit helps reduce downtime during punctures or roadside interventions while keeping components stored in the car’s designated tool recess.

Installation Recommendations
- Park On Level Ground: Always work on a firm, level surface and apply the parking brake.
- Secure The Vehicle: Use wheel chocks on the opposite wheel before jacking the car.
- Use Correct Jack Points: Position the jack under the manufacturer’s specified jacking point to avoid body or suspension damage—refer to the owner’s manual for exact locations.
- Never Work Under A Vehicle Supported Only By The Jack: Use axle stands if you need to go under the car.
- Check Towing Eye Threads: Screw the towing eye fully into the designated thread until seated; do not overtighten with excessive leverage.
- Inspect Tools Before Use: Ensure the jack screw moves freely and the wheel wrench is not rounded or damaged to avoid slippage.
- Stow Properly: Keep the kit dry and clean in the vehicle’s designated storage compartment to prevent corrosion and maintain fit.
Why The Part Fails Most Often
- Corrosion: Exposure to road salt and moisture causes rust on the jack screw and towing eye threads, leading to seizure or weakening.
- Mechanical Wear: Frequent heavy use or improper lifting points can bend or deform the jack and reduce effectiveness.
- Thread Damage: Cross-threading or using the towing eye on damaged threads can strip or damage the mounting point.
- Improper Storage: Storing the kit wet or loose in the boot accelerates wear and may damage tool fittings.
- Using Incorrect Tools: Applying excessive force with an unsuitable wheel wrench can round off lug nuts and damage the tool.
Regular visual inspection and light lubrication of jack screw threads will extend service life. Keep the wheel wrench in good condition and replace any item that shows distortion, severe rust or thread damage to ensure safe roadside operations.
