alexbuoy Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Too good to not share! Looked all over the forums and could not find where to buy a ring nut tool or easily make one. The tool straight out of oreilly's : Part number is W1271, probably sold at most oreilly's : All you have to do is cut two of the tabs off like so : Now you have a ring nut tool you can use with an impact! There are 4 notches in the ring nut. Put the two prongs from the tool into the two smaller notches. I was a bit scared that the two tabs would shear off. But after hitting it 3 minutes straight with an impact it held up fine. Sure beats using a chisel and a BFH to knock the ring nut out! Best part is that it was only $20 from my local oreilly's.

el_freddo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I made my own tool and it utilises all four slots in that nut device. I use a large adjustable shifter on it without any issues. Thereare pics of it floating around the interwebs. Too hard basket to find one on my phone atm. Cheers Bennie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Likewise, I made my own tool for the job. All tool steel, 2 pieces welded together. Big wrench handle to apply a BFH to when needed. Edited March 1, 2019 by czny 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 And here's some dodgy photos of the tool I made, looks rough but certainly gets the job done: Cheers Bennie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
