A lovely old tool worth having on a trigear is Ford Wrench with the extende
d jaw, but hard to find since it went out of production in the 30s. A simi
lar wrench that works great is a parallel jaw, adjustable wide grip wrench
used by plumbers. Works the same just the handle is radial rather than par
allel. With a shaft/pipe inserted into your wheel, you can=92t get a socket
on the Matco nut. With one of these wrenches, it is easy to adjust and re
move the axle nut on both the new nose gear axle and then slide the nut/was
her, and whole wheel off the spindle, then block the spindle with a couple
4x4 blocks. See above how the jack and pipe into the spindle setup works.
Here is the radial wrench: Typically around $15.

Subject: Europa-List: Socket size of wheel nut
Im being lazy. Does anyone know the size the main gear wheel nut? (In
recent maintenance involving several people mine disappeared, i suspect it
took a trip, as thing often do in that situation)
Many thanks will
