[Healeys] Tools for removing rear hub nut

[ardmorebusiness at xtra.co.nz]

A friend had the same problem as you - with the socket slipping off
the nut under load - so he ground about 1/8" off the face of the
socket.  This allowed all of the socket to fully engage with the hub
nut.  Problem solved.

30 years ago I bought a copy of the BMC tool made specifically for
this task.
It makes it a breeze!   No cursing or busted knuckles, and no need for
a torque wrench.

I used a 2 3/16 socket with a 30 inch pull handle. It was hard to keep
the
socket on, but I pushed against it with one hand and pulled on the
handle with
the other. I have torque wrench the same length, so tightening it
won't be an
issue as long as it doesn't slip off.
Regarding the surfaces of the hub and axle, I'll check that out before
I
button it all up again.

some one else will have to tell you the torque, but i was wondering
where you
got the socket wrench to remove the nut.  no one seems to have them
except in
UK.
