would anyone be able to help me im going to a scrapy so i need to find out what tools i need to remove a front hub on a mk6 escort???

 

you will need

mole grips and a 17'' spanner for lower arm bolt ( i say mole grips because i cant remember off hand what size the torques bit is )

32'' socket and braker bar for centre hub nut

hammer for just hitting things with lol

take an adjustable just in case

 

and a hacksaw just in case, most important thing is a hammer

 

and wd40!!!!!

 

and a flask of tea

i dont do anything before a nice brew

 

yeah, make sure it's a big hammer though

 

19 mm socket for shock. 15 mm socket for track rod end.

 

when in doubt give it a clout

 

depends if youre taking the brake calliper off

 

A sledge hammer, hacksaw, pry bars and a great big breaker bar. Might not be much use in pulling a hub off but they are the most distructive tools going.

 

plasma cutter and the biggest angle grinder going

 

take a 40 torx bit

 

i got them was a right ball ache walked into the yard there was a gti sat right in front of mebut being in a scrap yard it had know wheels on it. so it was on the deck and i had to try jack it up from there. i got everything off then i couldnt get the caliper off the hub and had to pay for the hole lot which ended up being £50

 

how much bloody rip off

 

thats no bad after all escort calipers are shite and like to sieze

 

My scrappy awsome.. I go in and borrow his tools now... Iv been going years tho
