[Healeys] 2 3/16 Hub Nut Socket

[Peter & Veronica]

...I did something similar Steve using a Land Rover hub socket as a basis (ignore the studs – I converted the tool for another purpose altogether!)

Cheers

Mike, I have a Craftsman 2-3/16" socket (3/4" drive) that I modified to fit the octagonal hub nut (photo attached).  You are welcome to use it for the cost of postage to and from.   I also have some written procedures that I put together for removing and replacing the rear hub bearing.

As far as the torque is concerned, there is no published value for torque on the nut that I am aware of.  I tighten as much as possible manually, then give the wrench a couple medium whacks with a hammer before bending over the locking washer.

Where can I get a 2 3/16th hub nut socket for the 8 sided axle nut?  I also understand this nut should be torqued down to 180+ ftlb of torque.
