Like I said, this tool looks good, and I'm glad to have it in hand for whatever I might need it for on my various cars.
But it would help to know definitively if it will fit. You say in a later post that you tried and it did not work, but ...
If the axle nut is M27 (is it?) then the outer (major) diameter of the threaded portion will be pretty close to 26.97mm. But then there is a splined section in-board of the threads. This section looks to be bigger than the threaded portion, and possibly bigger than 30mm.
I can see how this tool would fit over the M27 threads, but then hit the splined section, and not leave enough of the threads exposed to get the nut on and make it work.
Does this sound accurate?
Upallnight, did you mean "
splined" portion when you said "
threaded"?
I'll be ready with the hammer and brass drift if needed, but always prefer the lower impact solutions if possible, especially when bearings are involved.
