Does anyone know the hub lock nut and adjusting nut size on the front?

You can get away with a 2-1/8th if it is a 6 sided socket. Make sure you ask for a "deep" socket, and if you want to keep it on the cheap, just get an impact socket(black ones). Mine cost 25 bucks at a local Nut/Bolt store. Call around, because chances are most places wont have it. I tried farm/tractor supply, etc. Harbor freight has one in a "bigger" socket set, for like 130. Are you getting the rotors turned?   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Senior Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 434 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 02:05 am:    Shameless plug: http://www.landroverstuff.com/extras.htm   Douglas McMillan (Mcmillan) Member Username: Mcmillan Post Number: 56 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Monday, August 04, 2003 - 11:53 am:    Is it a big deal setting the 'end float' when refitting. I read that you tighted up the adjusting nut to 61 lb with a torque wrench then slacken and then re-tighten to 4 lb. The end float should be ok however you should check it with a guage (which I don;t have). If I go by the manual and the torque settings should this be ok or do I really need to check the tollerance? PS I will get the old rotors turned and use them on my other '95 Rover.   Jared Schnelle (Jared) Member Username: Jared Post Number: 173 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:15 pm:    I just tightened mine to 10 lb-ft instead of 4, because 10 was the lowest setting I could have on the clicker torque wrench. Everythings been running fine so far.   Kris Arnott (Krisarnott) New Member Username: Krisarnott Post Number: 23 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:43 pm:    You can find the socket on Ebay for around $10 if your not in a huge hurry.
