Hey All, I was looking to do a hub re-pack but cannot find, for the life of me, a lock nut wrench for the front hubs. Any suggestions? Do I need the specialty tool at all??

Cheers.

You can use water pump pliers

Any that will clamp around the hub.

Make a fist and find a set of pliers that will clamp around it.

Either of these will work. The rubber one wont harm the chrome and is about half the price at Canadian Tire / Princess

I used this kind, found at Princess Auto:

If it still won't move you can give it some gentle persuasion as long as it's clamped on good:

All these "wrenches" can be found as oil filter wrenches in stores.
