When the right tool works!
Needing to overhaul a 52 year old kick back was the task. No problem until the locknut was crusted and rusted. Chewed it up a bit with a homemade notched socket, then decided to preserve the hub and get the right tool. Being a PERFECT fit, ZERO slop, this tool turned the locknut removal into a breeze. A good tool pays for itself the first time you use it. You will use this twice on the first job anyway, when the locknut is tightened back in place. No good way to turn, or hold, the recessed nut without this tool!
