    But we are now thinking of cutting it in half and getting 2 out of it, it would probably be abit hard for the screw driver method when it's half the length it is now could be wrong

    TIM.


    not at all.......


    weld a tube or bit of pipe across the end.......
    and put your screw driver through that.........


    or just weld a handle on it.......but this will take up more space in a tool kit.......

    Got both of them pretty much done today (we cut it in half to get 2 out of it)

    Ended up using a 19mm nut welded to the back plate, works well for doing it up





    CHEERS TIM.

    Hi Gavin TDI300
    You wrote I went to the hardware store plumbing section and bought one for $7.

    Gavin what was this spanner for as I checked local hardware and he didn't have anything like this size.
    What store did you get it from as really interested in one.

    regards Jukebox 96 Disco TDI 300

    Just back from the UK with a suitcase full of LR spares. Included is a hub nut spanner, cost 3 pounds 98 pence ($8) from Paddocks.

    So the next person going north could bring some back. Alternatively, if anyone in the Bris area is desperate, mine's available to hire for the price of a beer :-)

    Having said that, your's looks a good solid job. I'd echo the comment about drilling a couple of holes for a lever though.
