    This came in my little tool bag and always wandered what you were supposed to do with it?

    to hold the front axle from spinning when loosening the nut. It's silly.

    Actually when "Tightening" the axle. not needed when loosening as you don't have to loosen the pinch bolts first for removal....but you "Do" need to tighten the axle nut and do the front wheel centering drill before tightening the pinch bolts.....sequence...sequence....sequence....I learned all about proper sequence throwing hand grenades!

    Thanks guys. My 09 TE has little rods on the end of both front and rear axles to stop them rotating when you tighten/loosen the nut on the other end so, this little tool isnt needed. I left it out my bag, when I couldnt work out what it was for but always wandered if I would get a rude awakening out in the bush one day. But now its clear [IMG]

    Yes...TE has got the rod...its for the models that don't have the rod. Makes a nice paper weight.
