Tyres and removal

OK, I was looking around my Bongo to check everything was right for France in 4 weeks time. But I cannot find anything to remove the nuts off the wheels.
Am I missing something? I have a bar and bit to raise the car up to remove the tyres, but is it a dual bit that also undoes the nuts or am I being stupid??

Is this in the chamber at the back of the step inside the sliding door?
If so you should have a Jack, the metal rod to lower the spare, the ratchet handle to turn it with and a vinyl bag to hold various other bits including the wheel nut spanner.
The metal rod should be in clips at the top of the chamber.

Unless you've got muscles like King Kong, you'd be better off getting one of those extending bars from accessory shops (see

I've just posted pics of all the bits on another post here
