![]() Btw, these two Sealeys seem the best bet at the moment. The 750mm won't take a tube over it though - the handle is too fat. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...KL5A1OLE&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...KL5A1OLE&psc=1 I'd try a 32mm King Dick ring spanner (Brian's post 11) but can't get one until the 8th or 9th. Aaarghh! Why didn't I sort this out sooner. ![]() Last edited by Blink; 4th July 2020 at 15:04.. |

All four of my torque wrenches have the reversal facility and don't tell me that this is for left hand threads! Simon

Unlikely to be taken off again? Are you sure? I've been proved wrong after making that assumption. And for just two nuts? Again, there will be other jobs for which you'll be glad you've got a high capacity 3/4 in. drive torque wrench. Finally, compare the cost of the best tool with garage labour charges for the same job. Now is it "big bucks"? ![]() Edit: Here you go, this is the best deal I could find: £214 including vat, free delivery. https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/...e-Wrench-3-4In A beautiful tool and with UK customer service too. I have one from the same range. Simon

phil-t4 has replied to basically say don't do it but I meant, take the hub nut from the off side and put it on the near side when you reassemble and take the nut from the near side and use it on the off side. I don't think you would use the same point on the nut to stake I am assuming you are doing both sides, ignore me if you are not. macafee2 |

not surprised 400nm wont budge it. I borrowed my neighbours and it struggled so when I got myself one, I got this https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clar...impact-wrench/ I'm only expecting to undo the hub nuts so I did not go for anything better. Cordless is good but I'd worry about the battery due to insufficient use. A brake would be good as mine keeps spinning even when the trigger is released. It is also big and heavy so ok for the occasional use but if you are going to use it a lot, get something better macafee2 |

Done it loads of times Ian to find a fresh bit of rim to stake and no problems at all. ![]() |
