hub tool !!

[lardy]

Hi guys wondering if anyone knows where i can pick up a 52 mm hub nut tool external of rovercraft as they have none, and if someone has one(perth) who would be willing to lend /rent as i would like to have a crack at the brakes, when i tried to undo it will a pair of grips (the wheel was off) and the hub just wanted to spin so stuck a pry bar across the studs and broke it ....not happening fast lol
They obviously are going to be a pain in the 'arris

Any automotive/industrial tool supplier should have/can get one. It's also the same size as Jeeps (used to) use (2,1/16" )

Mine was sold in a hardware shop as a hot water cylinder element spanner, even though it has Landrover on it.

that is the sort of error you want ....have you used it at all ? how much turning does that thing require ? did you leave the wheels on whilst trying to get the thing off so your hub dont turn ?

Close.
IIRC Nissan is 53mm and Toyota 54mm. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I used to use a 54mm on GQ's but 53mm was the correct size and GU's use a pin tool. (Why, I have no idea, just another damned specialist tool to make and make sure I don't lose track of :rolleyes: )

I checked mine today and it's actually 2,3/32" not 2,1/16".
Bought it years ago for my Jeeps and it fits the Defender.

Wow.
My Yota one was $40. My Landy one was only about $15.

One of mine was about $7 new (a few years ago, admittedly), the other one was $5 at a clearing sale, including for that a 2.25 distributor, a steering relay, and an assortment of other bits.

Keep an eye on flebay, Theres a guy from Kingswood? NSW who sells them regularly. I bought one off him recently.

As pointed out in jimbo's picture - the correct size is 1 1/4" Whitworth - which in fact is 52.05mm (2.035-2.050"). Near enough to 52mm, but nearer to 2 1/16" AF than it is to 2 1/8" AF. (for those who may have forgotten, Whitworth spanner sizes are specified by the thread size, not the width of the spanner opening)

MR Automotive sell hub nut thingies.

I got one from British4wd last week for $22 - they advertise on here.
Look under disco front axle parts in the online catalog.
