Replacing hub on tn60a, need substitute for unavailable CNH tool (pics)

[ruffdog]

Wow- yes WAY bigger than the dana 44 tool.

I was thinking more like a dana 60 axle....I have to go look in my toolbox.

Edit...nope, I only have the smaller 44 tools.

SERVICE TOOLS Part # 38295 WRENCH, HUB NUT >> Jonesborough, TN


did a bit more looking

SKF Axial lock nut sockets TMFS series

Their parts department said that was a mistake to have it listed and that im not the first person to call looking for it. Talked to them yesterday and was willing to have it red freighted to me if they had it. Thank you for looking

Just spent a few fun minutes looking around the web for the tool. The problem is that these things appear to be sold as vehicle specific tools, rather than by any sane measurement. Most of the ones on Amazon appear to be too small, but there has to be a truck somewhere that has the same sized lock nut. I guess this isn't any help, but I'd measure and go looking at places that service trucks to see if there is a match somewhere.

Mighty nice of CNH to charge close to a grand for a tool and then not even have it!!

Seems like the right guy would make you one for alot less than $1000

By measuring the picture, it looks like about 90mm between the slot flats and slots are 10mm wide?

About the TMFS 15 tool???

We ended up fabbing a tool for it. The measurement to the inside of the notches was 83mm
the OD of the ring 92mm
Notches 9.99mm wide
tool needed to be a minimum of 100mm deep.

Called ever skf dealer within 500 miles nobody had any of those sockets and all showed to be backordered for an unknown time. One of them likely would have worked perfectly

Thank you everyone for the help and the suggestions.

Get the part number for the nut then look at the specs for size if you cant find out, then order the nut to measure the size and return it after you found the tool.

My axle seals are leaking on my TN95A. Will I need one of these tools?
From what I can see and how I read the manual I think so.

How should I proceed? Part of me says take it to the dealer and let him make the repair.
