You might have some trouble finding it in a regular parts store but I know Atlantic British sells them. I think they run about $18. |

If your talking about the hub nut, and you've got a welder, you can make one yourself. Use approx 5x5mm steel to form a hexagon a bit bigger than the nut. Weld a flat bar handle to it and presto - 3 hours work to save $18 !!! Well it'll take 3 hours if you radius all the corners and polish it up like a quality tool. Its called pride in your own work

Bruce,
I love the do it yourself things to, but generally I find that if I am trying to save money. Using the 3 hrs to save $18 makes it about $6.00 per hour, if I have done my math correctly. But then of course I got a real kick out of the do it yourself jet engine powered beer cooler. I had serious envy. |
