Did you have a flat? Need the spare for tire rotation?
Happy New Years

I went to use mine recently when I had to change the headlight lamps. I like to never got it out. Some KNUCKLHEAR had tightened it so tight I ended up breaking off one of the ears trying to unloosen it. I ended up having to use Channel Locks to get enough leverage to move it. I am glad I was at home and not out on the road with a flat.

I knew exactly where it was. Didn't realize what it was. I just glanced at it and thought it was part of the scissor jack since it is held together with a clip. I was picturing some thin 3/8" rods that you put together to crank the jack up and down with. Oh Well, I know now!!!

It is a rather odd arrangement, not very intuitive.

And odder still because the owners manual calls it a wheel wrench and not
a lug wrench.

But that nut threads onto the stud to hold the rim in place!

Rims or wheels? Now that’s the question

https://www.google.ca/search?q=hhr+r...&client=safari

Then this explains rims

The rim is the "outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire".[1] It makes up the outer circular design of the wheel on which the inside edge of the tire is mounted on vehicles such as automobiles. For example, on a bicycle wheel the rim is a large hoop attached to the outer ends of the spokes of the wheel that holds the tire and tube. The term rim is also used non-technically to refer to the entire wheel, or even to a tire.

And this the wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wikipedia

So Wheel would be more appropriate.
