rear hub nut on a saff.. 41 mm nut . the rear arms are off the car i no i should have tried whilst still on the car. i used a thick extension bar through one of the holes in the hub to lock it which started to bend then snapped a 1/2 inch ratchet and it didnt budge at all.. tried heating it up but still no good.. any ideas or is it a job for a machine shop...????? cheers

 

Don`t forget mate,one of em is left hand thread so you will need to undo it clockwise...

 

shit.. didnt even look... bet the one i tried was goin the wrong way... never mind it can wait till next week now.. cheers

 

I've got the perfect tool for this

As long as you can weld,or get someone to weld for you?

All you need is an old brake disc off a sierra,and 3 foot of scaffold bar

Cut a slit in the end of the scaffold bar thick enough for the disc to fit in,then weld the bar to the disc

Easy one man job then to undo/tighten hub nuts

Will take a pic 2moro of it

 

even easier is put the car on the floor with original wheels on

as they have a hole big enough for a socket to undo the hub nut

handbrake on, in gera etc

41 mm socket and a big scaffold bar

right hand side is undo anticlockwise

left hand side is undo clockwise ( left hand thread)

ive just stripped my beam down 5 mins ago

 

 

Thats ok if the beam is on car,he said in first post beam/arms are off

 

need an impact gun really!

 

the its gona be a struggle but my beam was on the floor though

but i did have a electric impact gun aswell though

just need to find a strong bar to but through the hub then so it doesnt turn

then your socket and scaffold bar if u have a vice but the arm in the vics so its more sturdy

 

Heres what I had made:



Easy job then,with either beam on or off car

 

now thats a good idea

looks like an old brake disc with a bar welded on



im gona make something like that this week if it is

 

Read my first post m8

Thats all it is

 

No shit Sherlock
