Hi!

[Tombutlercpa@cs.com]

I'm Back. This list has gotten so boring in recent days. Who sells a socket to remove the old style rear axle bearing nut? You know, the one with recessed edges. My axles have these with a seal installed. I replaced the seals and put silicone in the axle and half-shaft hub union and stopped the rear axle oil leak. But it occurs to me that I may need to replace the seals on the other side of the bearing someday. I find the recommendations to turn this nut with a chisel to be crude. Do I have a commercial opportunity here? Any better suggestions? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Phil Marino who makes the nuts also makes a tool to fit the nuts........I've heard that some 4WD sockets will work too...... I have one of Phil's tools and welded an old socket to it so as to make it easier to use........ Terry

Try O'connor: I just got an 8-point 1-61/64ths socket from them, after searching everywhere else in vain. I'd consider them worth the try. Their specialty is restoration of T-types, and they are a Moss dealer as well. Their 800-number is on the webite. Ask for either Mike or Brian O'Connor. Here's the site: http://oconnorclassics.com/ Good luck. Regards, Sam Suklis here's their site:

Hi out there, I made a socket out of suitable steam pipe, cutting the castelations with a hacksaw. A hole was drilled for a tommy bar and this works well. Clem [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
