Wellington - Help with a socket

[Hawkeye]

Not sure if this is the correct place to put this but:

My cage has failed the WOF due to slight play on the front wheel bearing.
Unfortunately my socket set does not go up to the size needed.

Does anyone in the Welly region have a 36mm socket I could borrow to give the nut a turn. I'll come and pick it up and return it again. If it's not far to come, I'll even come in the cage and do it at your place.

[Clivoris]

Sorry man. I only go up to 32mm. Sometimes it can be worth checking out places like cashconverters who sometimes have odds and sods of tools like sockets for a couple of bucks each.

[James Deuce]

You guys have small nuts.

1/2" drive Powerbuilt 36mm sockets are available at REPCO.
Same size as Suzuki GSX-R rear axle nut

Been there, done that, didn't get the socket. (at least Porirua didn't)

Ring the Snap On man, he'll deliver it

I'm about to sell the cage so will not need this size again. It's because it's a people mover. Every other cage, my set has had a size to fit.
Snap-on's are a little expensive for a one time use.

Got it!!!!! Hawkeyes on his way to do his bits at my place

*Insert size joke here*. Too many to choose from really.

True, but I can sing and play rugby

The wheel bearing is rooted,tightening won't do anything but damage the bearing more.

If you get in the poo i have all the gear but am up in Kapiti. Any play in the front - theres a good chance bearing is on its way out cause it ain't not adjustable. Once you have the nut off, grease / lube everything and swing on the nut - it may make all the play go away for a wee while
