I'm in the process of changing the brakes/rotors and could not find a suitable hub-nut socket.   Mike Goodell (Mikegoodell) Member Username: Mikegoodell Post Number: 43 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 10:31 pm:    I beleive that it is a 2 1/16. That is the size I have seen mentioned here several times.

I will look for that size socket. Would you know why it's a standard size rather than metric?   Mike Goodell (Mikegoodell) Member Username: Mikegoodell Post Number: 44 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 10:51 pm:    Since I have had my disco I have discovered that it takes both standard and metric tools to work on it. I have also seen it mentioned here on this board that you will need both standard and metric tools. Alot of metric sizes cross over to standard sizes, like the lug nuts, 27mm is close enough to 1 1/16 that you will see it mentioned here frequently. The 2 1/16 size is about 52.3mm Mike G. 96 Disco SD   Jack Quinlan (Jsq) Senior Member Username: Jsq Post Number: 316 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 05:21 am:    52mm or 2 1/16. 2 1/16 is a lot easier to come by and it's even what they use at the dealership I just bought the hub nut tool from BP b/c I couldn't find it ANYWHERE locally.   Shaun Power (Shaunp) New Member Username: Shaunp Post Number: 15 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 06:00 am:    2 1/16 is correct,most LR aftermarket places in Australia sell a tube spaner for $10.   Kris Arnott (Krisarnott) New Member Username: Krisarnott Post Number: 13 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 12:06 pm:    You can find one (2-1/16) on Ebay for $10 almost always.   Peter Matusov (Pmatusov) Senior Member Username: Pmatusov Post Number: 783 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 01:20 pm:    this is the same size as CJ axle nut. Napa stores most likely won't have them in stock, but will order one for you overnight.   Blue (Blue) Senior Member Username: Blue Post Number: 83 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 02:52 pm:    make it easy on yourself, order the hub nut tool from Atlantic British.   Geoff 93 RRC (Geoff) Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 75 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 04:47 pm:    2 1/8" is a little loose but works fine.
