Hi all,

I know Mr Torque does a tool to fit 36mm hub and gland nuts. Unfortunately 👍😂 I've an updated gland nut , 38mm. Does anyone know if Mr Torque does a 38mm version.
Thanks.

Paul..... guess its a pole and heat....     First try to tighten the nut slightly then try to undo.... This is an old school thing that was\is used to undo rusted on nuts but it has worked for me for truly tight clean threads.  ;-)up ;-)up

Wasn`t aware of a 38mm option...

The tighten first thing was passed on when I first started serving my time 40+ years ago  ;D
Apparently 38mm A/F is the size of the heavy duty gland nut which is fitted to my engine .

38mm Berg nut ..There is no Mr torque for 38mm nut.. But a cheap truck wheel nut torque tool off ebay may work..

Take it down to a commercial tyre bay along with a tin of biscuits.  ;-)up
