Drive Shaft Hub Nut Removal

[Guest Dean Morledge]

Hi All,

 

Need to remove the hub nut so I can replace the drive shafts on the 2b - anyone know where I can get the correct size socket? 41mm I believe is the requirement

 

Cheers

Ebay is where I got mine, about £7 it cost for a decent impact one a couple of years ago.

One side (nearside?) is left hand thread.

I got mine from Allwoods in Newark with a 3 foot bar.

 

You are welcome to borrow it (them) although with the price of petrol or postage you may be able to get your own.

Had another thought on my zero I can remove the whole hub by undoing the four bolts that hold it to the hub carrier the drive shaft then slides out.

 

Only needed to remove the big nut to do the bearings.

 

Don't know if the 2b is the same.

Yes unless you are messing with the bearings just undo the 4 bolts around the brake back plate. and pull the shaft out of the diff.

Got the shaft out of the diff side - need to remove it from the other side - will take another look when I can get in the garage
