Yanmar 3gm30 transmission

[olepedersen@yahoo.com]

I need a special socket to tighten my output flange,at the end of transmission. On my Yanmar 3gm30. The nut has 4 cutouts like a spindle nut .Anybody know where I can buy one,I called the nearest Yanmar dealer and he did not know what I was talking about. I have tried tightening by hitting the nut with a drift, but cant get it tight enough, Thaks in advance Ole

Do you have a photo of the nut in question? That would help a lot.

I did read the post but I am old and dont know what a url is . ha ha Ole

ole-

A url is a Uniform Resource Locator...and consists of two parts. A prefix that tells the computer what protocol the resource uses, and the location of the resource.

For instance, a resource located on a webserver--an image, a webpage, a PDF file-- will start with "http://" which stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol.

Another example of a file located on a internet file server would probably start with the prefix "ftp://", which stands for File Transfer Protocol.

If you want, you can e-mail the photo to me and I'll post it for you. PM me if you want me to do that.

I think I know what you mean.

If so, this is what I do.

Get a socket the right size and grind it down so that only 4 protrusions of the right length and with.

If you have good tools get a cheep socket.

I have made over 10 of them for different things and only used them that once.
