Title: Spindle nut socket - DANA 44
Post by: Bulldog67 on January 21, 2012, 04:11:15 PM: This is more of an ask - before I have to fork out for a new one has anyone got one I can borrow ASAP? Obviously I will pay post costs.

Cheers gents :greggmo:

just had a look online, I reckon a pair of long nose mole grips might do it, but then they'd probably cost the same as the socket :003:

It also doesn't look too disimilar to an large RE cartridge joint tool, how desperate are you? I'll have a measure up Monday

Post by: wildwood on January 21, 2012, 05:10:23 PM: Think you'll find that its for adjusting bearing backlash..50ft lbs or less then washer on with tabs and 120+ ft lbs.....
so maybe cold chisel not the best solution.

Got one for the 1 Ton Dana 60 and..................... hey BD guess what............
I still got one from when I had the Dana 30 with Warn FWHubs... only difference is my prongs stick out rather than in the linky........ worked for me........Snap On........ the cheap option :hysterical: :hysterical:
You wanna borrow?
