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

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

10 points to Fez
 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

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.

Got to admit this made tightening up the bearings a breeze
Of course now I have no excuse for them being slack for any length of time

Here's the latest listing bud
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Axle-4x4-H.../131364026257? 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
