Hub Nut Spanner...$24

I've already had the Steering Damper relocated to the drag link courtesy of Disco White so the changeover is cheaper for the tie rod job:

HD Tie Rod (I think it is a Les Richmond model)...$215

LH thread tie rod end..$39

but the shock of the day was the Indicator Cancelling Cam $75

What do you mean you can't feel the torque?

Inner nut as tight as you can (61 lb/ft) to remove the free play back off and then tighten it (4 lb/ft) which means turn the spanner with greasy hands without a lever through the hole. Put on the washer and...then screw on the lock nut and tighten as hard as you can, when your eyes start bulging in their sockets that is 100 lb/ft.

Next time I have to undo a butchered hub nut that I can't get the spanner on - I'll think of you (fondly?). Especially if the bearing is suffering from little bits of nut in the grease.
