Hi . is there anyone near to Crowborough East Sussex who would lend me a hub puller please? I had one but sold it with my last Amazon. Now have bought 2 more cars and both need back brake attention.

thank you

Alan

Pity you didn't put this up on Saturday. I could have had one in the car when I went past your house on the way back and forth between Chatham and the Bentley show on Sunday. When I last met, you were going to Essex a lot so if you still are maybe collect from Chatham by arrangement?

If you are coming through West Sussex, you are welcome to borrow mine. I'm in steyning.

Thanks derek and julian. i have sourced a borrow locally now. Can anyone tell me if the castellated nuts are reverse threaded? they seem rock solid..

They are a standard thread. Not unusual for the threads to get a bit out of shape due to drum movement. Sometimes the key doesn't seat smoothly and gives a false sense of tightness when tightening the nut. A few road miles and the key seats and there can then be a little looseness. At the cost of a new split pin that can be quickly checked after jacking up and popping off the hubcap. Clean up any sharp edges on the key and slot for a good fit. Hopefully it's the nut that's damaged and not the shaft. New nuts available. Volvo don't quote a torque setting, just TIGHT and then back off enough to get the split pin fitted.
