Going to check my caravan Brake Drum Shoes and discover its what they call a Euroaxle which means No split pin on the Hub Nut but a one time fit /one shot only self locking nut, which when refitted has to be torqued up to 290 Nm or 214lbs ft + or - 3%
so;
1 I first need to get myself a 36mm Socket presumably a hex impact socket is the best choice
2 with that torque will a half inch drive be ok or should i be looking at 3/4 drive ?
3 what sort of length breaker will i need to get it off ? or is my 240V machine mart impact driver likely to be able to remove it
4 will i be able to to get a torque wrench that accurately can do this at a worthwhile cost ( probable use = twice ) or should i just tighten it up and roll round to my caravan dealer and get them to torque it up ( prearrange of course - its about 3mls away)
all advice appreciated
