The latest repco catalogue now has the sockets for doing the front wheel bearings..


patrol part number 71950 $48.40. 54mm

Bit rich I think, but worth having.

I have the tractor replacements one, was about the same price, but it doesn't fit into my hub far enough to grab the inner nut?

I got one off Bazzle thats a piece of steel tube, with some flat place cut into shapes, welded to teh end of the pipe to make it a socket, would have been lots less than $10!

Na its a flat nut, with no real room to get a normal socket in next to it, with one of those fucked up washers that you mash 2 sides off to stop the nut turning... a real norti werd idea.
