My power bar bent when I used some additional leverage so a quick hole in a 1.6m long scaffolding pipe and a 3/4" drive welded in showed that stubborn hub nut exactly who is the boss!!!!

I like these home made tools!

Anyone else got any 'interesting' tools?

did the same to a 3/4 " power bar myself ages ago Teng ones don't bend though

I recently bought a Teng 3/4" slide bar and 46mm socket - good to hear they don't bend Paul as they will get a flogging soon! They'll get teamed up with 5' of seamless mechanical tube and a special spanner of the same length that I made; it locates on all 5 rear wheel studs so I should be able to crack rear hubs on my own.
One of the few items that Teng don't guarantee is their breaker bars but I do have one for a wheel brace.

3/4 socket, 3/4 drive slide bar and 6ft of rusty seamless tube - yer only man!

Talking of 46mm nuts one way of getting hub nuts off trailing arms when not attached to the car wheel is wedged under sill (an old furburred tyre) and trailing arm wedged under wheel

Ah Titus, yes, the Wiki will tell you that...

Hehe, I'd say beefy 'cos...
a handy bloke to have around actually when a 1/2 ton tree stump needs shifting

With a steady hand and a sliting disc i cut the corners off the nut, then it comes off

And how do you put it back on?
