Thanks Ed. I prefer to have correct tools before starting a job I am not familiar with and have no problem with buying them. The nearest town from my place is 30 minutes and it is aggravating to stop in the middle of something and waste a good chunk of a precious day off to go hunting for what is needed. Did you keep the rear axle, hubs and so forth on your 250? My question is do I need a special tool to remove the hub nut? If it is not a socket, what is special about it where can I find one?
