If anyone has an original wheel removal kit would you mind posting a picture of it?

Hopefully I will never need to look at mine. I put that "prevent a puncture" stuff into the tires at Atlas. Costs €65 and prevents air loss and punctures supposedly, giving the tire 30% more life and better fuel economy too (or so it claims).
97 Manual GPX. Icecelle Blue.
Other Stuff: Induction kit. Front Strut. Apex Lowered. 17" Kahns. Quad exhaust. HID lights. Glow dials and rings/cups. Black leather seats. Window tints. Sunroof.

Far as I remember it's a wheel brace with a square hole in the middle that also cranks the jack, a bar with a hook on the end that fits on the jack and is turned by the wheel brace, and the spark plug tool?

So it does have a hook on the end - it's fooking stupid for jacking the car up, not so bad for leaving it down.

From the manual:

I'd imagine the pry bar wasn't on the models with alloys.
