Bearing nut wrench... life saver!

Postby pfarber » Sun Sep 30, 2012 7:25 am

Starting to strip the chassis I have for parts. First thing I go for is the rear outer hub seals. I had purchased the bearing nut wrench from VoV and if you don't have one get it. For the $25 cost it saved me at least 30 minutes of banging away with a brass drift.. and didn't damage the nut at all.

I had to use a 6 inch 3/8th inch socket extension as I didn't take both wheels off (only the outer tire) and the lug nut wrench handle to to long to fit inside the wheel rim.

If you need to man handle the truck... remove the front drive flanges and rear axles.... the truck rolls much easier when you are not spinning axles and differentials.
