I have a line on a 36mm deep well socket and I am wondering if that is the correct tool to remove the main nut from the pinnion shaft on our gearboxes.
Thanks
James

How about a 30 and a 36mm spanner? That's what I always use.

I dont quite understand what the 30 is refering to.

I dont have acess to a 36mm spanner. Even so, doesnt the reverse gear get in the way if you use a spanner?
I have used large adjustable wrenches in the past, but I always rounded the nut. I think it is time to get a proper tool for this job.
So is that confirmation then that the nut is 36mm?

Well, there are two nuts, one is 30 and the other 36mm. :wink:

And spanners work very well, plenty of space/acess. What do you mean "don't have acess"? Buy one, surely there are people making money by selling tools in your country? :?

Hey Mats,

When you work on the tranny, won't that make it a total of 3 nuts? :D

Well, depending on how you look at it, 2 to 5 I guess. 8) :lol:

Actually snapped a pic to show you how it looks.
