Steering box nut
|
19-04-2018, 01:01 PM
Good afternoon all.
Could anyone advise me of the size of the large nut fitted at the bottom of a steering box, the one to which the fixed stator tube is attached. I need to buy a large socket to remove one. Regards Stuart

In danger of sacrilege I'd say you want a 33mm socket which is not available, a 34 would do it or find a
1 3/8 box spanner. A Whitworth socket may involve getting out your grovelling trousers and approaching your bank manager ;-)

I have an 1 1/2" tubular box spanner left over from doing Mini front suspension swivel joints. It would probably do the job, so do you know any mini owners etc

isn't " about 33mm" about the same as 3/4 whitworth which you need for the rear hub nut?? (only know this as I've just had to get a 3/4 whitworth socket for that purpose)
i.e. you really need one of those anyway... for proper tightening...

Many thanks for the prompt replies, 3/4 Whit socket duly ordered.
Regards Stuart |
