Title: Kin expensive socket
Post by: Timbox2 on April 10, 2017, 09:30:22 PM
£34 in fact, 46mm for rear wheel removal. Could have saved a few quid online with a Laser one, but went with BETA, Snap-On type quality and guarantee.

Needed the wheel out of the way so I could get to the 2 screws on top of the inner face of the swingarm there. They hold the Hugger on which Ive bought an extension for.

Aint it clean :icon_biggrin: And yes, before anybody says anything, Ive cleaned the chain properly since, using Chris C's find, WD40 chain cleaner, £2.99 a pop in Aldi's, brilliant stuff, theyve also got nice little cans of WD40 chain wax, ideal for a tank bag.

Kin Ell, I thought French Citroen shit was bad enough needing 44mm for the rear hubs, 42for the fan on the GS, but even I haven't got a 46

Citroen!! I had an XM once. Lovely ride and handling....when it worked! I remember once,all 4 corners of the car 'raised' up,due to some malfunction with that 'hydrogas'suspension. I then noticed Smoke from the front,and peeing on some connector to put it out! :icon_wink:

I had my socket machined down to the minimum depth to grab the nut only. I took it with me when I rode form LA to Chicago. Need to keep the weight down. Machined the socket end as well as the 1/2" drive end.
