DIY Bendix Automatic Adjusting Cone Lock Nut Tool

In order to disassemble and reassemble a Bendix Automatic 2 speed “kickback) hub you need a special tool. I made this crude one from a socket a few years ago.

The tool goes in to the 2 slots on the adjusting cone lock nut.

Since I didn’t use a deep socket to make the tool I have to hold it with vice-grips. Use an adjustable wrench to hold the adjusting cone while you remove the lock nut.
