It looks like a pice of flat bar with a square in the centre to fit onto the socket spanner, with 2 bolts sticking through which fit into the holes in the bearing nut...
Once you have the tool, it looks like a pretty straightforwad job...
Thanks

Front wheel brearing spanner
I have some play in my front right wheel - bearing needs tightening. I see there is a special tool needed to tighten the bearing. Does anyone know where I get such a thing?

Re: Front wheel brearing spanner
This might be slightly backyard mechanic style for some , but I used a long nose pliers, stuck the points into the holes and tightened.

Re: Front wheel brearing spanner
Alternatively you could make one from some flat bar, a couple of drill bits of the right size and a second-hand socket from the pawn shop.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

Re: Front wheel brearing spanner
David omdat my kar manual hubs het, het ek niks om te meet nie.
As julle egter vir my die pennetjie se grotes, die afstand tussen hulle, en die diepte van die "boks" kan laat weet, kan ek drie of vier opmaak, sodat ons een in elke sentrum beskikbaar het?

Re: Front wheel brearing spanner
Dankie - Ek sal kyk of ek die naweek gou mates kan neem en jou dan laat weet
Google sê die penne is enige iets van 50 tot 55mm uitmekaar
Die gate is 6mm groot so penne +-5mm sal reg wees
Hier is nog voorbeelde van tuisgemaakte tools:

...acording to the manual you set the nuts to 167-196 nm.
spin wheel a few times.
loosen of to zero nm.
then tighten to 3-5 nm.

Re: Front wheel brearing spanner
Ek stem saam Tinus.
Sover dit my aangaan het ek genoeg ou sockets wat ek kan vas sweis
Lyk my party ouens glo vas jy moet die dinges uit hom torque en dan laat skiet. Ek het nog altyd net die wiel gedraai terwyl hom vastrek en net op gevoel gewerk - sal volgende keer hulle metode probeer
