Flange adpator

[voucht]

Finally I could remove this bloody flange!

I bought an offset 30mm ring spanner as Baz and Kev advised. Thank you guys. But it was not deep enough, so I had to grind around the ring to make it fit. Took me ages

Then of course the nut was jammed because of the rust, and I used a lot of WD40. I made a set-up with a steel bar, clamp locking pliers to hold the spanner on the nut, not to tight, but enough, and hammered the spanner. after quite a lot of time, I finally could undo the nut

Pictures here if you want.


Otherwise, this more for Bob/ Bob, here are the dimensions of the splined part:

26 teeth
small diameter : 26.7mm
big diameter : 28.6mm

Diameter of the part in the gearbox : 40mm
Length on this part : 28mm

Can you check if your ford Transit flange has the same dimensions please, and let me know with the end of the week-end?

Thank you very much.
