Has everyone used an E10 socket to remove the freewheeling hub bolts or did they find a 8mm socket appeared to fit.
I have ordered the socket but it has not arrived and would like to get on with the job or should I wait.

Hi
I would wait if I has you. A friend damaged one using the 8mm and couldn't remove it after...
use the correct tools for the job.

I knew that would be the case. So good to wait.

Halfords is your friend .... just stick "E10 Socket" in Google and you will get loads of online retailers ... expect to pay no more than £5 for one

You just want an e10 socket to fit your toolkit.
Any motor factors will sell you one.
Halfords do a set
But if you are doing a lot of maintenance, and you don't have any tools, it might be an idea to buy a toolkit, halfords have a good one on a special offer, pretty much everything you will ever need for £120,
go to halfords.com and put 370635 in the search box. It is a lot of money to undo 12bolts though....
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I have one of the older Halfords tool kits which has everything in it and I highly recommend it as being good value and comprehensive.
Occasionally I want a socket in half inch and it's only in 1/4 or 3/4 drive but I have an older tool kit from them which has those in it so I raid that.
It is well worth the money and mine lives in the back of my Jimny permanently. I have a sall tool box to supplement it with screw drivers (free fom Halfords when I bought my last lot of oil and rated as a Best Buy in Car Mechanics Mag) some pliers, cutters, crimpers, connectors and mole grips etc.
You'll be glad you bought it as you progress on to bigger things.

I bought a full set from these guys and i have been very impressed with the tool kit
only advice i offer to anyone that get this set is keep the foam insert or socket wont stay where they are suppose to.
