Don’t you have a proper prop socket?
So easy to use & worth the few quid

I did have but I have so many tools split between the house workshop, disco & the unit tis
hard to keep everything in the one place....

Couldnt loosen these ones either so we the special removal tool :D:D

It's just so funny that British Leyland/ Austin Rover, despite the model/make etc, stuck with 9/16" for the propshafts. Those who have not been mucking about with cars back in those days, prolly don't know what it is to deal with imperial nuts and bolts, and threads. I started in 1972 and didn't get my first metric socket set until 1980 or 81.
I find myself using a calliper a heck of a lot to make sure, when this sort of thing rears its head, should have done it today.:rolleyes:

Ive got a full set imperial spanners n sockets but they were at the house plus id been back n forth
a few times so I couldnt be assed to go back an get them. :oops:

I imagined you would have.
My only problem is that I don't have any 6 sided imperial sockets. Don't know if I would be assed to get any even if I saw some!
I even have a few bits and pieces of Whitworth and I have no idea where they came from!
