52mm hub nut tool
omara04:
If you're rummaging around car boot sales look for a 1 1/4 W socket. It's the same size and fits perfectly.
As per the technique, Haynes definitely states tighten by hand, set the endfloat using a DTI and then tighten to torque (130Nm I think it is). I happen to be able to borrow a DTI and this is the method I use, and I reckon it's the most accurate. The problem comes when you tighten up the locknut - invariably the adjuster moves too and you have to slacken thm all off and start again!! :roll:
Horses for courses though, do whatever works for you!

54 front axle and final drive:
13: fit hub adjusting nut. Tighten to 61 nm
14: Back off adjusting nut 90dg .Tighten to 4nm this will give the required hub endfloat of 0.010mm
15: Fit a new lock washer.

Manual for which car BTW?

Just checked my rave disc for discovery 1 and it does indeed say that.

Is that the torque for the locknut :huh:
You are right about the backlash in the locknuts too, that's why I said I fit both nuts and the washer before I check the endfloat, it doesn't have to be that tight to eliminate the backlash though.

Something like that. I'll check the haynes when I get home. I think it's 100Nm actually (74lb-ft) wheras the wheelnuts are 130Nm, but it's a fair old whack.
Range Rover Blues:
It would need to be quite tight given how big the nuts are.
