| Post subject: | axle arm castellated nut - tightening it up. |
Hello - I've been working on my axle arm bearings - I've changed out the old rusty ones, re-greased and am reassembling. Has anyone got a method for tightening up the castellated nut - the manual say tighten to 43ft.lb, back off, then tighten to 36ft.lb. I don't have a suitable socket - so am looking for something involving tapping the nut around with a drift. |

Buy a torque spanner ! it always comes in handy . I have three of them, a small one, one with more torque and one with even more torque. Nowadays they are not that expensive. edit: Ups, i did not read it properly |

Hi, if you've gone to the trouble of buying new bearings etc. then what's another £32.00 plus p&p for a lock ring tool?  Seriously though, drifting it will work but if you are in the 2cvgb club then asking your local group to borrow one would be best. Good luck

ummm. The burton tool @£32, https://www.burton2cvparts.com/en/rolli ... cknut-tool, does not have a 1/2" female for a torque wrench! It just has 4 holes - for a screwdriver it says! No different to a drift. |

Make something yourself with a few pieces of angle iron with an old socket welded on top?? |

I should have said that a suitable nut should be welded on top of the expensive tool. I made my own.  IMG_2889 by Robndaisy, on Flickr IMG_2891 by Robndaisy, on Flickr
