[Public-List] whale pump Nut Splitters

[Michael Connolly]

David,
Go to amazon and search for "Nut Splitters" You can purchase sets of (4) for $26.00 to $32.00.  Harbour Freight on 31 sounth will also have them. The ring fits around the nut and then you rotate the hex screw and drive the anvil down unto a "flat" side of the hex nut you wish to split.  I normally just split one side. You can also split two sides opposite each other and the split nut halves will more easily come off the bolt in question. I didn't see your photo.... but a 1/2" nut will use the smaller nut splitter.
