Has anyone ever found a tool that helps remove the dust caps on the front hubs? I want to check my bearing tightness and darm if I can tap the dust caps off. Thanks

I presume this is for a TR6. Rimmer Bros of England list a tool:

Part Number HU508
Description SETSCREW 3/16 UNF X 1"
Retail Price ÂŁ0.45 inc. VAT (ÂŁ0.38 exc. VAT)

Its part number 117 on:
https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/cgi-bin/rimmer?findpart&PartID=HU508&Page=triumph/tr6/susp-front

Is this right? Hope it helps....
 
MG provided on on every 1800 engine....its the long head stud nut on the rear passenger side of the engine - one end is threaded to fit the head stud, the other end fits the threaded stud on the end of the dust cap....I've taken one & attached a head stud with a "T" handle welded to it....just screw it onto the stud on the cap & pull!
 
THANK you, Jeff!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
