Thread: Prop shaft socket tool

I would have thought that size would be readably available, though perhaps only in a set, but 1/4 drive sets are reasonable priced.

Well, when you find one, post up a link here.

After reading about this in a post a while back, I got my 1/4" 9/16 socket individually from QLD Trade Tools, along with the wobble extension which I think is also necessary. I recall the socket and swivel extension was about $15 all up.

I wish I had got this setup years ago, it makes propshaft removal so much easier/faster and no more rounded nuts/bolts.

What is wrong with using good quality standard 14mm or 9/16th spanners. I use these all the time (series 1s, series 3s, D1s and my 10o1) and have never had any problems.

TM18, Socket, Shallow, 9/16", 6-Point

They have it in chrome or not, and 6/12 point, etc. The only one currently in stock was chromed at $4 more. Anyway, $17.45 plus postage.

Also available here-

Landrover Propshaft Tool 9/16 (14mm) 1/2 Drive by: Koken - UKtools - Sealey - these guys are also on ebay - hope this link will stay current.

Please post here if there's someone in Australia that does the whole thing.

I posted the UK shop before, 1/2 drive is very overkill, i bought the 3/4" drive. less bulk.
Strange spanner sizes for toolkits

Yep, after spending the other day on replacing my front one AGAIN (because I didn't do it right the first time! ) I wish I'd thought of using 1/4" sockets (damn non-mechanic brain!).... ended up using a ring spanner and an open ender which took ages but ratchet ring spanners would be a go I thought!

3/4 drive is huge, I am sure you meant 3/8...
