They always break when you dont want them tooo

And you missed out on an awsome trip on sunday I would have liked to seen your face IF you had got stuck and got water in it

[red-devil]

Shhhhhhhhhh

i dont get stuck in water that offen Fingers crossed.

[billyvanboheman]

Sorry, just checked and my 3/4 set only goes up to 50mm, jebus thats one big CV nut

[niblik]

is this nut the 2 that bolt up tight against each other? that ya have the lock tab go between etc?

[SMOKEY]

Are you sure it's 54mm , I will have one at work. 0274318993.

I USE IT TO ADJUST THE TIME CLOCK, ,

FITZY.

[albundy]

You better buy one as I am sure it won't be the last one you break. They are inherently weak on the VX's. Worst case is you could use a coal chisel and hammer to loosed it.

Hi someone said getting them hardened (the CV) makes them almost as good as a longfield.

Do you know anyone that you can get it cryo treated out at the airport? I have a Hilux and carried a spare CV, had to fit it I used plumbers vice grips on those nut's no socket would fit down over it.

I also have a replacement locking washer for next time. the two washers are for holding the wheel bearing etc in place and once adjusted right should be fine.

When I do mine I check the wheel bearing a couple of day's later and adjust (tighten) if needed.

Oh doing one of these on the track I would recommend a plastic mat it took ages to find where i put all the bits (that bloody circlip)

Yes read about that on Pirate; cryo treatment renders them brittle.
