Chisel Replacement

Just received my new rear hub nut spanner from Australia.
Whilst I have the correct size socket I thought it would be good to have this spanner as it is a good deal lighter than the socket and easier to store.
It is a good tight fit on the rear hub nut and when undoing/tightening is held in place by two wheel studs/nuts.[frame]

Sorry haven't got a link but surely you know what a chisel looks like Dennis!
Try B&Q.

The chisel can be found as 'e' bay item No: 171716773582.
Perhaps someone on here can provide a link.

To avoid a buying a hub puller try using the half shaft reversed, the four nuts carefully tightened should pull a reluctant hub off. (Not getting into the Socket v Chisel debate!).

I've never had to use a puller on either front or rear hubs. They just glide off!

I have found that over the years some do slide/glide off and some do not - then my Sykes-Pickavant hub puller with an impact hammer attached comes into play and they then glide off very easily.
You cannot beat having the correct tools to do the job as pointed out in another post - my correct tool bank has been built up over many years and is still being added to. You cannot have too many correct tools.
