52mm hub socket

[The ho har's]

Not sure if this needs to be in

Technical Chatter...Defender County... or here....so mods move it to wherever:D

ho har is doing the wheel bearings on the fender as we seem to be having vibration problems and the rear wheels seem to have play in them



so we went to buy a 52mm socket this morning...we tried..Qld trade

tools..Glenfords..even super cheap and auto barn.....

seems no one stocks this size does anybody know where these big sockets

can be found for future reference

been told Qld Diesel Spares might have them






so in frustration ho har came home and fabricated one and works a treat


most females go to shopping centeres but I am happy to go to tool shops:D

Did it work? ;)

[p38arover]

It did!

[Range Blitzer]

I enquired with FWD's just in the last couple of weeks about one of these, and was told they have no stock and couldn't forecast when they might have them again. I would also like to know where to source one.

Isn't the landy one the same as the Toyota one - so you could try a Yota dealer.

Also the last one I bought from FWDs was not a socket but a tube spanner so looking for these rather than sockets might help - I must say though the old one I has got twisted out of shape getting an over tightened hub nut off.

Cheers

Ho Har's socket will be very small as it is only 52ml (see thread title). :p

Yes, it is a tube spanner but with the addition of a plate welded over the end and a 1/2" square hole cut in the middle.....

I have had a few tojos and had a tube spanner for the tojo hubs. It is just a tad bigger than the Landy one I think, but it works fine. I welded a bit of flat steel and an old socket across it so I can use the torque wrench as the Landy book says. It works just fine, and I would think it fairly easy to get a tojo hub spanner from any 4wd shop.

aahh sorry I believe tojo are is 54 mm ours is 52 and ho har has manufactured one so is all good:p

[Bigbjorn]

Not hard to make one, but the real thing is pretty cheap. Try MR at Redcliffe.

I machined one out of a lump of scrap aluminium. Wouldn't do it for anyone else. Nice way to spend half an afternoon though, keeping the skills up.

[long stroke]

We made a couple from scratch...

I got one from Paddocks a while back. A sparky mate picked it up and asked "why do you have a water element socket"?

So there ya go, it's not even a landrover specific tool.;)

No, its just a tube socket:D

[Killer]

FWD Motors at Yeronga sell them for about $12:00

Cheers, Mick.

Got mine at Supercheap as part of a 3/4" drive impact drive set. I had to also get a 3/4" rattle gun to undo it as I had nothing that would shift it. Note that the D2 has to be tightened to approx 600Nm of torque.

I'd be interested to know how long "a while back is"?

I've tried bunnings, plumbers, supercheap, repco, all to no avail. Water elements are no longer screw in they have 4 holes for fixing to the tank.

Yes it is, but the size is identical to some hot water element sockets.;)

Maybe 18 months ago I bought it. I'm sure hot water cylinders have moved on, but sparkeys still get to work on stuff that's straight out of the ark.

Got mine from All4x4 spares (Newcastle) for $10
