Lindsay, It turned up during the week - and the %$#%$ axle nut came off with a bit of heat and a few whacks with an 8lb sledge hammer.
Even the you beaut CIP tool couldn't budge it (it got the RHS off, but the LHS wasn't moving.)

Thanks,
Simon

hey lindsay,


i was thinking today that you seem to be making specialty tools, one that would be really handy would be the one to get the headlight switches out of the dash etc, like the two pronged ones, i have one but it actually came from a fondu set.

Sorry for hi jacking

Last time I used a leatherman opened up enough to get the tip of the pliers in, but I was nervous I was going to slip and gouge the dash.

Yes.
I have heaps of pliers of all sorts...

but am scared of wrecking the dash.... lol

Maybe the fondue forks are the go... lol

originally thought of using a large screwdriver with a wide blade and grinding it to fit....
