FWIW, Land Cruisers are 54mm, and GQ Patrols are 53mm (GU's use a pin tool :mad:)

beats me. Never ever had a problem getting whatever size I needed.

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

Yep, got one in my toolbox, i just got alan at british 4wd to add one to the list when i ordered the bits to do my rear wheel bearings and oil seals, well worth the money, makes the job heaps easier. Matt

Yep, I've got one. I bought it years ago from Four Wheel Drives in Melbourne.

Well the one i have that was origanally bought for an 82 hilux and has been used on a multitude of 40s and 70s which fits the above perfectly, DOES fit the Rover bub nuts BUT is an extremely LOOSE fit, although being a hex headed tube socket, it'd be unlikely to damage the nut BUT if you like punching the concrete/wheel hub/studs/anything else when you slip, its for you;)

I made one. Small exercise with lathe and milling machine. No, I won't make you one. Would be ok for a small production run with a CNC centre but takes too long to be commercially viable with normal machine tools. My time however is charged out to me at mate's rates.

Well I relented and bought one today from Graeme Cooper...it certainly is easier to feel the torque than with multigrips.

Wheel bearings changed :D

Also discovered that that piece of Spaghetti No.7 called the standard tie rod has a slight bend in it :mad: . So the new HD tie rod goes in tomorrow.

Mal. Leslie of S.G. Leslie & Sons, Melbourne will make you HD steering rods from chrome moly or HT steel. Or, I can sell you the 11/16" x 20 TPI LH & RH taps and you can make your own.

there is no torque to feel.....you simply remove the freeplay from the bearing.....
the the outer nut ...being a locknut....gets done up as tight as you can.......
