[DeTomaso] Rear wheel bearing special tool

[Mike Drew]

Emiliano,

There are at least two competing designs available. Here is one:

http://hallpantera.com/cgi-bin/p/awtp-product.cgi?d=hallpantera-inc&item=22804

And another:

http://www.ipsco.org/Pantera%20Parts/AXLE%20SCOKETS.htm

Both encapsulate the axle nut and use four vertical bars to turn it. The original Ford tool was a total POS that just had four pins. Invariably they broke off. 



Don't forget that the axle nuts are one-time-only use and should be replaced whenever they are removed. 

Or so 'they' say anyway. I know loads of people have reused them and I don't know firsthand of any problems arising from that. But they are cheap enough (surprisingly cheap actually) that I wouldn't take a chance....

   Emiliano,

   Invariably they broke off.

   Don't forget that the axle nuts are one-time-only use and should be
   replaced whenever they are removed.

   Or so 'they' say anyway. I know loads of people have reused them and I
   don't know firsthand of any problems arising from that. But they are
   cheap enough (surprisingly cheap actually) that I wouldn't take a
   chance....

   It is a four nubbed/pronged tool.
