You can swap to the earlier 2 locknut setup if you wish as the stubs axles are the same.

not very clear but does show it:

thanks pete, are these nuts a use once only?

52mm from memory, if you have a landy repairer in cairns they should stock hub nut spanners, $10-$15 much cheaper than a socket

2 1/16" actually, but 52 will do However, if it is on a Puma the "tin" tube spanner type may not be up to the 150 ft lbs torque required to "preload" , nor may they have the square drive needed for torque wrench.

Standard socket won't go over the axle, needs to be "deep"

I was lucky, club member had toolmaker "homemade" jobbie. Need to build my own.

Note that on Puma the Nut itself is staked, not the washer. Having recently done mine (last week) reckon nut can be used twice but needs to be replaced next time (with correct torque it goes back exactly the same place).

Rick, the tube type works fine up to 90lb/ft, and mines worked OK since my first Jeep in 1984. (yes, they use the same nut )

IIRC mines a 3/4" drive so I just use a 3/4" male/male square drive adapter and a socket on the tension wrench.

BTW, I'm guessing in theory you'd need a few spare shims with TD5's and TDCi's to set the pre-load correctly when changing wheel bearings or even to account for minor wear in the cone.

As we've discussed before, I like the old double nut/lock washer setup.

It's dead simple to get the pre-load right, wind the lock nut on, bend the lock washer and off you go.

I might be lucky, no shims! Might be different when I eventually have to change a/all the bearings out. That woudl possible be the time to double nutting it.

So call me pedantic for carrying these around

You're a pedant

At least you don't have them jammed in you pockets, that'd just be weird
