Hi Christo "any" bearing play cannot be cured by additional tightening. in most cases the bearing will collapse as a result..if you are going to replace the cv then do the lot at the same time...cheaper than MB bearings can be bought from bearing stockists. (To Pattern)..seals must come from MB
Hi Christo the tool is a castellated socket..can be fabricated from an ordinary socket by grinding the castellations...I have the tool in the workshop and your SA cousin in Louth has one complete with the bar.....

Thank Peter, that is why I want to get a bearing key, I want to do the whole lot together.
I would just fill it with grease, but although I can not feel any play on the wheel, I have a squeak from the same front wheel, and it is not the brakes, as have taken it off and given it a good clean. I want to know what it is.
I use my car off road a lott, and if something squeaks, its not happy, and if its not happy, it's going to break, so that is why I am looking for the socket size.
