cliff.b Posted July 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Ok, nut fitted, not as tight as it should be but tight enough to test and yes, the nasty noise has gone 🤞 I decided to take the pulley off to inspect and interestingly, there was no perceptible play, but the pulley did pull off easily. I need to get a suitable socket now and tighten properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the correct socket size is 1 13/16 but lots of people are saying a 46mm will do the job and I have found a nice shallow one for an impact driver. Does anyone know if the 46mm is definitely ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I'm sure that I used an adjustable spanner on mine, may even have been an old pair of stilsons. Obviously no good for torquing up. It was a long time ago though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously no good for torquing up. It was a long time ago though I used a large pair of stilsons today, only thing I had that was big enough.

andybeau Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 1 13/16" = 46.0375mm So 46mm socket will do job Halford and others sell 1 13/16" sockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagger Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Is it possible to make a Tab Washer that fits into the keyway, tighten nut and flip the washer up to keep the nut in position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 think that would mask a problem theres a design reason behind why the 1500 upped the size and torque most are a fight to remove/undo if it goes loose or missing then it probably was not tight enough in the first place tab washers are inherantly quite soft it could deform over time and youre back in the doo doo's a loctite would probably be better but if tight and the keyway is a good fit there shouldnt be a problem Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
