Reply With QuoteThe tool for these nuts is a large "tube spanner" readily available from most of the parts suppliers for around $30. Try Karcraft or Rovercraft (or similar up your way), both are mentioned numerous times in this forum.

Gday all,
My old man has decided to replace wheel bearings or something on the '98 d1. The problem now is that the hub nut is a little over 50mm, and have no idea where to get a socket for it.
Where do people get these sockets from? Or what can be improvised?
Cheers!
PS. Im in Brisbane...

go over to fwd Fairfield rd Yerongpilly, and buy the over size socket for the job. The bearings have to be torqued up and the done again at a low torque anyway. I bought some for my series LR 20 years ago - still same size on my disco.

52mm, you can get them from ARB (54mm for tojos) Mr automotives, Supercheap sometimes carries them
blackwoods, truck shops and some plumbing places.
if you want to come out to the switch you can borrow mine.

I tried calling all the local places and it was amazing, noone had them.

Subscribera big pair of multigrips works fine if you havn't got a socket.

These bearing adjuster/ locknuts nuts hold your wheel hub to your vehicle.
If they come loose or come apart, the only thing holding the hub assembly on is your brake caliper.
Not to mention that you can loose braking performance while the hub is 'coming off'.
Please buy the correct tool for the job, especially one as important as this.
