Beringer Wheels
For those who have installed Beringer Wheels, what socket or tool did you use to get the 1 1/4" main wheel nuts tightened? The output shaft is longer than even the longest socket I can find and a wrench won't quite get enough grip without damaging the nut. I don't want to mangle the nut. Advice appreciated.

Well, a Dremel and a cutting wheel didn't work .. tried to modify a cheap socket .. bye bye Dremel .. had high hopes until the magic smoke appeared .. oops!
|
Me too
Im glad you asked this. Im about a week away from this issue and will appreciate what you learn.

Big thanks to @pappa, an RV-9A builder who surprisingly lives only about a mile from me. He called right after he read my post and offered to help modify a socket. I'll post a pic here in a bit.
@Av8rRob assuming this works I can ship it to you if you don't want to make one. |
So it looks like your just cutting the end off a 1.25" socket. How do you plan to torque this to 141 in/lbs?

Gotcha, kinda like making it into a crows foot? Can you verify that the size is 1 1/4??
|
It's 1 1/4. None of my crowfoot adapters will fit, the nut is flush or just recessed past the wheel.

Check this out! Didn't even know there was such a tool, a "flare nut" crowfoot:

Sounds like Alan has to modify his inventory for you guys! :D
He sells 1 1/2 & 1 3/4, but not 1 1/4 https://antisplataero.com/products/a...ork-nut-wrench |
