You could have taken a picture of my stuff its identical ! have mastered the art of standing on the end of the breaker bar and clouting the socket with a hammer at the same time- for that i use the bigger hammer thats not in your picture

Re: 2CV rear axle stub nuts EirikJ wrote: I just use this, to get the rear drums off. Have always worked for me, but maybe I haven't met the really stubborn ones yet:  I've had a look in the workshop manual, and it seems as these should only be tightened with 35-40 Nm,greased threads. Just remember an axel stand to support the swing arm. 35-40 kg pushing downwards can damage the swing arm stop

Re: 2CV rear axle stub nuts Found this die in the US. Not cheap but lovely to have and use. Threadfiles are ok but fiddly to work with, they work better on inside threads like drum bearing ríng nuts etc. http://www.2cviking.eu/catalog/product_ ... cts_id=759

Re: 2CV rear axle stub nuts Thread files don't work on internal threads at all, the splines run in the wrong direction. Nor for that matter are they "fiddly" to use. If you want to mildly re shape an internal thread you need a thread chaser.

Re: 2CV rear axle stub nuts WHAT!
How do you clean the thread on rear drums then (ring nut thread holding the wheel bearing)

Re: 2CV rear axle stub nuts Well I use a thread file to ''repair'' a buggered thread front or rear wheel bearing ring nut thread.
