yep - you definitely need more than a standard ratchett - get yourself a scaffold bar!!

yep deffo a scaffold bar job and weld your socket to it it helps. If it's make a noise check you haven't damaged the drum

Well i had a funny squeeking noise coming from back and turned out hub nut was not even hand tight :shock:

Took the drum off and due to it not being tight it has worn on the inner bit where it meets the hub so will need machining to get it flat again , Ill cover this in my re-birth thread
