Yeah, we grabbed a piece of scrap iron and a bent wheel. Used torch to blow a couple of holes in wheel to put iron through. Didn't even weld it. :oops:

How to manufacture a tool for a job...........

Post by Fritz »

This type of implement was once general issue at any BL garage and used in similar fashion, along with a common or garden FBH.

Why not simply undo the hub nut with the wheels on the ground, with the hand brake on and your mate stood on the brake pedal ? :o Or am I thinking too logically........

even if you have to get an assistant to press on the brake....
