hub nut socket size

If my memory is correct they are 2 1/16", close enough to 52mm. Same size fits all Landrovers and (I think) all Jeeps and Landcruisers. Because sockets this size tend to be pretty expensive, and because the round cornered nuts do better with a hexagon rather than twelve point spanner, you are better off getting the tube spanner sold for the purpose for around a tenth the cost. Any specialist supplier for any of the brands mentioned and most auto tool suppliers should have them in stock. Just ask for a landrover hub nut spanner. JD

2 & 1/16th if I remember right.

I don't think they fit a 101 if my reading is correct but pretty much any othe LR product. A few have been caught out by this on expeditions when they get a failure.

Lee

Thanks

Do you know if the 101 uses the same one too?

That's a definate maybe! It was a long time ago I had a 101...

Richard

No, they don't fit a 101. And don't use a bloody chisel to do them up, either.

Alex

No, it doesn't.

I must admit I didn't even think of it - or the Freelander for that matter (or current RR/Disco). I was thinking of real Landrovers, - all Series,

no need. I've had occasion to undo/do up those nuts without the correct tool and they don't need to be tight enough to require a chisel.

one thing you can do it with is a toolmaker's clamp, but then again, I doubt many people have that either.

That doesn't mean the last bloke didn't think they needed to be that tight! But if you must use a chisel or punch, use a brass drift. JD
