Not left hand thread ,are they?

No standard thread ,I think they're imperial ,but the sockets fit .

gudday m8

make sure they B metric or imperial
wot we do is go buy a 6 sided 3/4 or 1" drive socket
normally @ a trash n treasure or garage sale
in your case buy the 2 sockets n weld one each end of a 500mm HD bar
then weld nuther HD cross bar slightly off center towards the front wheel size socket

that makes sense thanks swishy :oops:

Made mine out of a 32mm X 3/4" drive socket welded to about 15" of heavy wall steam pipe, drilled two 5/8" holes opposite each other, slip binder bar in and stand on the little buggers!
Works for me every time, even when I forgot to remember that passenger side studs were L/H threads!
Also doubles as a "knockometer" (hammer).

P.S. IF your like me and find that your Whitworth spanners/sockets are getting a bit hard to find these days, for some strange reason metric spanners/sockets seem to come closer than AF (SAE).
