I needed to remove the "hub caps" that protect the Syegon inflation system on the truck, however they are bolted on to wheels. Trying to remove the wheel nuts with standard 3/4 inch drive stuff was a no go.
So I ended having to order various truck specific tools that are man-enough for the job. Boy, are the tools BIG!!
The torque wrench is massive and comes in a rifle-type case, is 1.3mtr long and weighs 10kg! Wheel nuts require 600nm!!!
The Syegon self inflation system.
Still haven't figured out how I get the wheel off without disconnecting the whole inflation system. Thankfully the tyres can come off without wheel removal, so if it happens on the roadside, I won't have to remove the whole wheel first.
"This week, I will mostly be removing the rear box in readiness for the chassis to be cleaned, vapour blasted and repainted"...
