Who are you speaking too??? HF ???? (good idea tho)

You, you don't need a $2000 anything for the front axle.

I didn't need a 95k grenadier to play in the mud either, but one must keep up appearances. You probably have battery bauer tools instead of Hilti, too.

 

[Tazzieman]

That

That would work. There are traditional torque wrenches for similar cost available too.

The special tool probably looks something like this as there is little space to get a socket on.

I've made stuff like that with an impact socket and angle grinder

My Snap-On tools paid for my first year accomodation at University, (it was a long time ago).

These days I have a mixture of Britool, Draper, Facom and unidentified stuff from my father in law and wife's uncle.

Pro tip: sign up for an automotive class at the local community college and get the student rate on tools from Snap-On.

Did you hear that somewhere or did you actually do it?

Snap-on Student Excellence Program

Doesnt seem like taking an evening class is going to cut it.

When I was in the automotive trade, thank God I got out and that was a long time ago, Snap On trucks would come around to the workshop to sell their stuff
I would walk through and be amazed at the ludicrous prices then go to the local tool shop and by what I needed at half the price, I still have some of the half the price stuff 30 years later.
Moral of the story, Snap On is a waste of hard earned cash
Just my opinion of course
Now back to the new cars spewing out oil and needing special tools that nobody has and the dealers need to share them around between themselves which is apparently acceptable because in a tiny country on the other side of the planet they can go in the same day post
The Grenadier just slipped a few rungs down the ladder again…

Yes, 268 posts on this forum, most of them saying how much you dislike the Grenadier.

No I actually love the Grenadier, I think the design and concept is fantastic and the best available hence the reason I follow the progress, development and role out of the product and associated services.
It’s the atrocious build quality and after sales service that I dislike, I also find the excuses by those who love the vehicle so much they refuse to remove their rose coloured glasses a little amusing
Once Ineos get their act together and the vehicle is actually what was promised and a viable option for remote touring in Australia I will own at least 1 if not 2 before I am put in a box
