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

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.

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

Mrs ho har :angel:

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.

We made a couple from scratch...

I get all my bearring nut sockets from truck line OTC brand and built strong not supper thin walled like most 4x4 shops sell;)
