Thread: what am i missing ????

You'll need a 52-size nut/spanner and your troubles will be solved. Funny yours seems to be seized, in mine there's always plenty of oil .

Go down to a tool shop buy a cheapish 52 mm socket, probably less than $20 The tube spanners are useles if you have to apply much force to them they spread open especially if you get one for a Toyota which are just a bit bigger than required by LRs but some folk will try to flog one to you (4wds blackburn). Use a big braker bar. Lash out and get a 3/4' drive bar and no rattle gun will ever beat you on the wheel nuts.

Anti-clockwise to undo. Or as a lady once told me righty tighty, lefty loosey
