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

Also discovered that that piece of Spaghetti No.7 called the standard tie rod has a slight bend in it . 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.......
