I used a De Walt 18 V Impact Gun, takes them off on the middle setting. I can not remember the Torque but it is more than ample

I've got a gun Pete and a big breaker bar but no 54mm socket to go on them... can't think of another way to tighten it up... I loosened it with a cold chisel

Cut the conture out of a steel plate and weld it on the breaker bar!

Thanks Jesse... I'm sorted now.... Pete's dropped his in the post for me so I can torque it up and post it back to him th: When the autojumbles start again I'll have to buy my own.

Fwiw, 55mm socket works just as well at half the price.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......
