I need to undo the rear hub nuts on my cossie, and reckon that the nuts are 41mm.

So far so good, but I cant find anywhere that sells 'em!

Any ideas peeps?



Neil.

 

Halfords?

 

Nope - biggest they had was 32mm

Neil.

 

Brown Brothers

 

Lamberts in Norwich... .

 

Shut it Mike - Like you even OWN one lol

Mike R, proud owner of the only concourse socket set in existance

Now where's my price on those hoses?

Ill give Brown's a call - Cheers Adam

Shows how much you remember , my socket set is probably the grubbiest known to man (you used it at the 'Ring remember ) .

I am waiting for a return email .

 

No joy yet - the only ones I can get are 3/4" drive, and I only have a 1/2" breaker bar

Neil.

 

Why don't you see if they have a ˝" to ž" convertor then you numpty .

 

i can get you one from work if need one still, pm me if you do

 

My local Halfords sells bigger sockets in imperial sizes.

Would 1 5/8ths be close enough, esp. one that grips the flats rather than the corners? Would be worth taking a spare nut down with you, just to be sure it will fit - these are supposed to be replaced anyway, so maybe get new ones from the Ford dealership then go to Halfords.

 

had the same problem, got one from an A1 motorspares place 3/4 tho then had a bit of 1/4 angle iron cut it stuck it in the socket and 1/2 drive now fits!

 

Cromwell Tools sell them in 3/4 or 1 inch drive according to the catalogue I have in front of me. Largest in 1/2 inch drive is 36mm.

www.cromwell-tools.co.uk

Part no ken-582-8300k for 3/4 version

Price 14.48 inc vat

 

try www.machinemart.co.uk

They sell everything

 

I think the rear hub nuts on a cossie are 42mm, don't use 1/2" drive as you will snap them like carrots, use min of 3/4" pref 1" drive if you can get them, machine mart are quite good for stuff like this or look through the yellow pages for local engineering merchants or tool suppliers oh and you will be needing a big fook-off extension as well, 4-6ft at a guess, a bit of old scaffolding does the job well

 

Cheers for all the replies!

Will - I have the scaffold pole lol

Think I'm gonna borrow one off the youth - failing that theres a Cromwells near my office so I'll nip over there

Thanks Again!

Neil.

 

draper do a 41mm impact socket with half inch drive - i got greedy and bought 2

I'm pretty sure this is 1/2" drive, i can get a good price if u want me to find out?
If u want one local, Brown Brothers or Partco should do 'em

 

I rang Browns and they were bloody useless

I'll nip over to Partco at lunch - cheers Rich

Neil.

 

dont forget the one side is a l/h thread

 

Cheers Martin - I did suspect that it may be

That would have been really useful advice if you'd told me which side it was!!!!

Neil.

 

u can tell by looking at the thread that hangs out beyond the nut..

oh, and the Sykes socket is 3/4" drive by the sound of it, and not as cheap as I remembered

 

Phone these guys up;

01992 715 900

Company is called Group Componants, based near me, but 99% sure they do mail order....

They will have ANYTHING you need, and I know they will have the sockets as they have fucking HUGE sockets in their display cab (and when I mean HUGE i mean nearly a foot in diameter )

Also they will be cheaper than ANYWHERE else, specially Cromwells, Halfords, Partco, Browns etc.... Even inc postage they will be cheaper
