[Healeys] Rear axle bearing nut removal

[Larry Wendland]

I'm a little late with my reply to the list with my answer to getting the Rear Axle Bearing Nut off.  I had to find my home made wrench in my morass of tooling and other junk that I can't seem to part with, junk that is (pack rat).  Years ago I made this wrench out of 1/4 inch steel plate. I cut the outer shape with a band saw and the inner shape with a "zizz" wheel plunge cut on each flat enough to finish it off with a hacksaw. Then cleaned up the saw marks with an assortment of files and a belt sander. Being flat, there isn't the issue of the wrench twisting off the nut like an ill fitting socket with an adapter and breaker bar attached. I used a heavy brass hammer to strike the arm on my wrench and it worked very nicely.

I also made a puller for the wheel bearing hub and can furnish pictures of it too if there is any interest.
