Hi,
got a split CV boot - nice simple job.., ( JTD weekend)
booked a day off work,
unstaked the hub-nut,
progress stopped;
I can't get a socket to fit the thing...
the 36mm socket I had was an "impact one" too thick in the wall..didn't fit inside the Hub to access the nut's Hex:idea:
I've got another 36mm elsewhere,
arrived with that an hour later.. STILL TOO BIG :bang:
anybody got any bright ideas..( ive edged a vernier caliper near the flats it's almost certainly 36mm)
next step is to machine around 2mm off the wall of the socket..,
seems a bit DRASTIC though
franglais - have you done a job like this..??
