Trying to lock it on will be the problem.
BernieQ.
Thanks Bernie.

Checked through the sockets just in case but no 54mm x 1"drive unfortunately. Certainly work ringing around the hire mobs to see if they have a 54mm x 1"drive, they sure won't be cheap to buy.

T1 Terry

Don't be tempted to use a rattle gun, the gearset will be permanently damaged from the chattering involved at that torque and I doubt anything smaller than an 1"drive gun would shift it anyway.

$75 on Ebay.
Bernie how deep does the socket need to be? Is it a nut or bolt? Does the shaft stick out very far?

Let you know on Friday Bruce, not climbing under the bus now and will be out all day tomorrow.

Hi Bernie
I am pretty sure I have one in the bus, was going to have a look the other day when you mentioned it.
I bought mine of eBay from NSW while staying near Wangaratta and it took 10 days, at the same time I bought a diesel heater from England and it arrived in 4 days.
If I have one I could post it to you.
Regards Geoff

Thanks Geoff will keep you in mind.
Bernie.

I wonder if it uses locktight too?



Bernie, get a big bar, and a hydualic jack. Lift the end of the bar up using the jack. This will turn the nut or lift the bus.

Thanks Jon had that thought myself .
Great minds A.
Bernie.

54mm is 2-1/8" (53.98mm) which may be easier to beg or borrow
3/4 Drive and Long Bar should do it OK 588nm is not all that tite
