RE: hub nut removal - Toms306 - 10-11-2014

I've never failed to remove a hub nut with it. And only once failed to remove a HDi crank pulley nut...but I couldn't remove that one with a bar either, no idea how it'd seized so badly!

It's mains though, not battery! I specifically didn't want a battery one as my battery drill is useless lol.

Sig update required I think.

Team 35mm socket! Lol

Who has the 27mm injector socket then?

I do I do!!! lol

306 specialist tools ftw


RE: hub nut removal - Toms306 - 10-11-2014

27mm socket? With the right engine you only need a 13mm... Tongue

The right engine is never going to be a ford I'm afraid Tom!!! Tongue

Out come the xud owners eh Matt?! lol


RE: hub nut removal - Toms306 - 10-11-2014

Unfortunately my Ford has a crappy Peugeot engine in it. Sad

But regardless, I meant the HDi only needs 13mm lol...this is a 306 forum you know... Itwasntme

I couldn't quite believe it, but for all the cars Tom has owned and all the cruel things he says about our lovely xud9te's, he's never owned one Huh


RE: hub nut removal - Toms306 - 10-11-2014

Its an internet forum...you're allowed opinions on things you've never owned/seen/heard of... lol

You're right though, I haven't owned one, have test driven a couple (hence never buying one! lol ) and worked on one or two. I do intend to own one at some point though. I've never owned a '6 either! Confused


RE: hub nut removal - londondan86 - 10-11-2014

Touché!!! But I wouldn't quite call a 13mm a specialist tool now! A 13.43mm that's required to remove the racoon filter on a 6. That's specialist!

I know Matt but for Tom it's not "refined" enough :yawn:


RE: hub nut removal - Mattcheese31 - 10-11-2014

Joking aside I don't know how anyone wouldn't enjoy a big blown xud or even a good stage 1 like my old one, great fun and you get to keep your clothes on Big Grin


RE: hub nut removal - Toms306 - 10-11-2014

That was my point...don't need to waste money on special tools with the right engine. Wink Well expect the electronic magical cam belt tension tool....but just give it a twist and hope for the best lol.

People have different preferences though... Like I can't think of an enjoyable activity without clothes on, but I'm sure you can. Confused

In all honesty, I wouldn't enjoy a big blown XUD, I'd constantly be worrying about rod's falling out or turbos exploding and the engine running away. I'm fully aware this won't be understood by none-worriers who can just 'enjoy' things lol.

RE: hub nut removal - londondan86 - 10-11-2014

Good idea Matt. Let's also not forget the telescopic magnet for picking up lost bolts from behind the pump/alternator/oil filler neck!!

RE: hub nut removal - Toms306 - 10-11-2014

Telescopic magnet is a must for any car!!

Spent half an hour looking for mine earlier...before remembering I now have a glovebox big enough to put things in and that's where it was. lol


RE: hub nut removal - Mattcheese31 - 10-11-2014

I have a glove box big enough to put things in, it's not called phase win for nowt Tha noz Big Grin


RE: hub nut removal - Piggy - 10-11-2014

Yup, I got a smoothed and shaped old bolt for the locking pin, and the relevant bolts for cam and pump!

I will be making a custom 13mm spanner and socket for the fuel adjustment nut and screw too soon!

(telescopic magnet with an LED on the end for the win! lol )

I was poking around behind the dashboard with my magnet after a nut that fell in, the magnet stuck to something and i pulled it put, only to realize the magnet had come loose from the stick and still remains in the depths of the dash Censored


RE: hub nut removal - Toms306 - 13-11-2014

Haha, you need a stronger magnet to get that one back now...

I has a 27mm socket and spanner (TBH i prefer the spanner on injectors for some reason)

I also have the 13mm "half moon" or "obstruction" spanner as they are sometimes called that was designed for stuff like bosch pump bolts.

I have 2 or 3 different ones of these with different strength/size magnets for different bolts/clips in different places.
