    B6000 Wheel collar / axle bolt thing-a-me, questions

    Well I managed to get the hub off :cool: Thanks for all your help. As a keen cyclist, I'm more used to bike mechanics than, agricultural stuff, so taking a 3ft breaker bar to a nut is normally a big no-no.... But in this case the right tool for the job, and it was pretty simple. Hubs now...
