Is it for holding one of the pully wheels still, or turning it round?

Nope, although you're on the right track thinking 'wheel'

It's for adjusting the bearings!!!

Will make keeping the bearings tight much easier as it'll fit on the end of the 1/2" ratchet.

Wasn't much more than a tenner either :D

Two blunt nails in a piece of wood and lever in between, but you can't torque it up to a particular value, but having said that, I don't find that necessary.:thumb2

Mines the same idea. Two bits of bar welded onto the outside of a bit of tube with a handle for tightening.
Job done. Once I had found the right diameter tube it took all of 5 mins to weld it together :thumb2

I've got the poor man's version a punch & hammer:lol

[makeitfit]

Hammer and punch is a bit of an ask on the trol. The bearing nut thing is deep, deep under cover :lol
I have one on my Crimbo list :thumbs

[Barrbeast]

Got to admit this made tightening up the bearings a breeze :D

Of course now I have no excuse for them being slack for any length of time :lol

[Sweety]

Glad it works well:thumb2 oh the joy's of being able to adjust hub bearings with the wheels on:lol no such joy for me having 17" T2 wheels as no big centre cap

Here's the latest listing bud

Price has gone up a wee bit since I got mine but still well worth it! Fast postage as well.

Probably fit the Terrano lock nuts too since they look the same to me :nenau

Gotta love those massive Trol hubs! :thumbs:lol

My last T2 had auto hubs so had the big centre caps so you could strip off the auto hub & adjust the bearings with the wheels still on but this on is a slog wheel off & adjust & wheel back on nip up the nuts & check & so on until right can get a little tiring:lol
