16mm Irwin extractor on a rounded 15mm head works for future ref
2 bolts down now though, so built nearside back up. Torque wrench only goes to 204nm I need 230nm for hub nut and 275nm for caliper carrier to hub. Ive torqued up to 204nm on those fixings and give it a bit more with the bar.
Couple of bolts tomorrow from craddocks or JL services and hubs should be done by teatime. Can't wait to drive it again I'm missing it.
I'm a bit damp
I can do nuts and bolts in the wet if I must but I can't weld in the rain and wind
I will be hunting me down some Irwin extractors for future use
Them bolts need some serious torque on them don't they
” justification done.
@1988smithy , good job.
I will be honest and had not heard of the Irwin things till a few months ago, on here.
And as DD I will be looking out for them to add to the tool box “I really needs these
J
I've got 2 sets now, an erbauer and the Irwin and they've come in useful about half a dozen times over 3 years so definitely needed
Success!

Happy days and hats off to u mate , irwins to the rescue again, lol
I got a gazebo which I find comes in great use for those rainy days
D3s do seem to get under ur skin , think it’s because there such a pleasure to drive u don’t mind working on them
Same with owners here , each have there own favourite
I really have missed it, drove it for 3 days then it's been laid up 3 but I'm gutted I've gotta wait a bit more! They are very nice. Pain in the arse to work on though, very little room to manoeuvre compared to the defender but to be expected
Aye up, the gaffers here!
You know what I think it's already a strong contender for my favourite landy I've owned
I've got room for a carport as it goes.....

, always wanted a garage with a post lift , where all my tools could be set up in cabinets , nice to dream
Hi
Carport sounds perfect, totally jealous
Originally was carrying a boiler , twisted and smashed lower discs, L5-4-3-2 , so had pins and screws put it, over Xmas and new year i attempted to do work on the D3 , then tried to change my ATF oil, back locked, emergency surgery they used some surgical cement to resecure the pins that had moved , got to rest for several months more to allow it to stabilise and the nerves to heal, some have been damaged from surgery but the nerves still fire which causes the excruciating pain, plus weak left leg which is permanent , just got to give it time so virtually housebound , good days and bad days at the moment still got to do my oils , bless u for asking but could have been worse , escaped a wheel chair this time
X-ray , plus pins and screws that are in my back
