The nut that locks the hub on is an 8 sided nut that I measured to be 2.1825" <br>across the flats. Where do you get a socket to remove that nut. My original Healey workshop manual shows a special service tool in the back for that purpose, but I don't have that.<br><br>Any other way of removing that nut? according to the Moss catalog it should be a left hand thread in the left side of the car where I am working.<br><br>Thanks for any collective wisdom.<br><br>John O'Brien<br><br>'65 BJ8<br><br>'61 Bugeye<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys<br><br>Healeys@autox.team.net<br>http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys<br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/simon.lachlan@alexarevel.plus.com<br><br><br></body></html>
