Only in a set. They were flat out finding a 32 for me.

2 1/16" I believe, or to metricise it, 52mm. Get a tube spanner rather than a socket as it is possible the socket may not be deep enough - and the tube should be around $5 where a socket that size is likely to be close to $100. Supercheap may have one, Repco should have - ask for a hub nut spanner for a Landcruiser not a Landrover. They are both the same, having both copied Jeep. Failing Repco any of the Landrover specialists should have one as should any of the offroad specialists. One of mine came from Four Wheel Drives in Melbourne, the other from a clearing sale. Your location is not very helpful, so can't be more specific.

Why does everyone think they are tha same size as tojo when they're not, just use some stihlsons with a bit of discretion and you'll be fine

Thanks all (and Langy via pm).

I'll give the multigrips a go. I would want my LR tainted by association with anything Toyota..

Saves a trip to my closest LR bits purveyor Graeme Cooper.

It may depend on the model - certainly the same as Hilux - I lent mine to my neighbour for his a couple of months ago.

Ok having seen this posts on this subject many many times. Don't you lot use these


They are Land Rover hub spanners. I keep one in the toll kit at all times
Next question is does anyone want one. I can get them sent over pretty cheap from the Uk. Should be about $20 each. Save any problems when you come to do a wheel bearing again

Ali, they're generally available from any tool/bearing shop. I just use my old Jeep 2 1/16" tube spanner.
FWIW, Land Cruisers are 54mm, and GQ Patrols are 53mm (GU's use a pin tool )
