Does anyone in NSW have a 52mm socket? I just need to do the bearings and am now willing to travel to use it. If not then I will have to ring around the workshops after easter to get it done.

On later cars with conventional hubnuts, the bearings are done up to 61Nm then backed off 90 deg, then retightened to 4Nm.

On Td5 modesl they use a difrferent system. In either case one would need a socket (or modified hubnut spanner) which can be used with a torque wrench.

I have one in cheapish 3/4" drive socket set I bought.

I bought mine from a British Offroad in Qld. Think it was about $11. I'm sure they would post you one. It's not big so shouldn't be much in postage.

As others have mentioned elsewhere, you could change to the conventional hub nuts which are much easier to work with.

I was there yesterday - I think I saw a sign saying they were not going to open on Sat - you might try calling first.

Gasweld might have something.
