[Healeys] 2.3/16 wrench

[Bob Haskell]

Eberhard,

Yes, the factory tool was an 8 sided socket with a pilot that fit inside 
the hub.  Churchill 18G258.  They do show up on ebay once in a while.

You can use a 12 point 2 3/16" socket.  As the nut is thin, I'd suggest 
finding someone with a lathe that can remove the inside chamfer from the 
socket so you can get as much purchase as possible.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
