Title: NEED: Axle Lock Nut Securing Plate Tool
Post by: longms on January 03, 2009, 07:26:11 AM

I am trying to install the securing plate for the rear axle that goes around the axle nut. I can't seem to find anyway to install this part without the proper tool.

I am talking about #3 in this diagram.

If anyone has the tool that should be used for this is there anyway that I could possibly borrow the tool? I could pay for shipping both ways.

Or if that isn't a possibility does anyone know where I could find this tool?

Thanks in advance for all the help in advance.

LOL, I just use the socket and hammer the plate on. Takes 2 seconds.
