I bought it for my 5 Series as those hubs are so finely machined to the driveshaft a standard screw bolt puller just isn't powerful enough, a Citroen one will fall offCitroJim wrote:Now that could be very handy Richard What's the betting it'll need it?

I have to say, despite the time involved and the trouble with the elbows, doing both the cambelt and the heater matrix at the same time worked quite well and saved doing some jobs twice.

Re: Xac's adventures with Cassy (and friends)
Been working on doing Cassy's clutch today, but her hub nuts are a little bit on the tight side...
Yes, that's two breaker bars broken...

Huge thanks to Chris for bringing his humungous ratchet over.
It did the job, thing is, you know Jim is always complaining about the mess I leave on his drive (not that kind of mess Malcolm!) well, when the N/S hub nut came free, the ratchet dropped off, smashing the corner off the litter tray we used to catch the LHM and gearbox oil.
Big puddle of it that Jim promptly cleaned up.
Sorry Jim!

And thanks from me too. You Chris are a star of the highest order sirXac wrote: Huge thanks to Chris for bringing his humungous ratchet over.
No worries on the drive Andy, all cleaned up a treat so no worries at all.. The dousing of the area in brake cleaner did the job a treat...
I'm more vexed about the broken litter tray - I've had it a long time and we've been through a lot of adventures together. I first used it on cars, after the cats no longer needed it, on my 205GTi. I shall miss it terribly

in the sky, big bangs and pretty colours
being serious for a mo, they went on for about 20 mins and they really went for it, so god knows how much that cost, I bet that you could *almost* get an activa ram for what that display cost!!!
