Hey guy just wondering if a jimny hub nut socket will work on a coily?
As I'm trying to reach my kingpin and wheel bearings? Cause I have the infamous death wobbles hahaha

Thanks in advance

Can't help with that question - but SE Vitara hub socket would fit.

If you can't get one, I have never had a problem using a hammer and a 5 or 6mm pin punch to loosen and tighten the hub nut. Never had a problem with bearing life either after re-packing old bearings and they are still good after 80K km + using this method.

Hey mate,
You won't need a hub nut socket for the coily, as Reubs said you use a punch.
Check out this thread for some pics.

How do you set the bearing pre load correctly with a hammer and punch?

That i can't answer good question though.
I should clarify when i say you don't need a hub nut socket, this is due to the coily not using hub nuts.

Jimny hub nut socket, a Coily one will look the same. The hub nut is the round thing with the femail thread

Oh you've got me there. I was only familiar with the Toyota, Nissan hexagon type hub nut socket, thanks Shep.
