Hi,
Anyone know where I can buy a wheel bearing spanner for a solid beam axle Prado / hilux? Have checked, toyota, repco, super cheap, trademe, bnt (who sometimes have them but not right now) and G Guy all without success. Don't want to use cold chisel on them again as it nearly stuffed the last one.
Located in South Wellington area.
Cheers

Was in at Just Cruisers recently and he had one there - quite a bit cheaper. They are the same size as something else too... can't remember what now - something like... um... old washing machine bottoms... but it wasn't that...

My hot water cylinder socket was just a tad too small for my wheel bearing nuts.

Hot water element is 2mm smaller than hub nut, better to get the one off jafa.
