Anyone know off hand what size the spindle nut on a 96 DI would be? While I am asking, Atlantic British web site shows a nut and a keyed washer... not what I have. Dealer part?

 

I just recently completely rebuild one hub/swivel assemly and replaced all 4 discs and pads, so I have had to disassemble all 4 hubs. The nut size is 2 1/16, here is the tool I ordered from atlantic british:

Works great, however torquing it down to a specific value is rather difficult, ok, impossible. I ended up getting a large socket that fit into the AB socket, drilling through it and bolting them together. Then I could attach my torque wrench to it...

Sometimes you can remove with channel locks but then putting it back on is difficult. It is impossible to find that part at any local tool shop, at least near me.
Good Luck

 

Thanks, yeah the local yocals look at me funny every time I come through the door and ask for anything but oil! Guy asked me if I was working on the tractor or something.....doo daa..

Other times I really think I can get parts easier for the space shuttle (which is the other thing they think I am working on)!
