I haven't taken the half shaft out yet (still on road) so dont know what
size socket I will need to shift the locknut.

Disco 300tdi

can anyone advise. I need to make sure I've got everything ready before I
take the wheels off.

2"AF (52mm)
Same size for the lock nut and the hub nut.

Worst case, you can get them off with a cold chisel.
They aren't that tight.(When they're not seized that is!)

Ditto, specially seeing as a box spanner is a fiver and makes the job a lot
easier!

sometimes, though, you need the thing off and you haven't got the spanner.
I bought a spanner a bit back, and naturally haven't had occasion to take
one apart.

I've successfully undone them with a toolmaker's clamp before now.

yeah, but you work on them professionally. I now have a box spanner, but
that's a recent addition to my toolkit. mostly, I improvise.

The Shameless Plug was invented by Patrick Shameless McGuffin in 1921.
(His name is the consequence of the arbitrary spelling of an official at
Ellis Island, when he arrived as a child in 1879, and he didn't want to
call his invention a "McGuffin".) It uses a screw thread to cam out a
series of fingers in the perimeter of the device, which compresses a
washer of vulcanised rubber, asbestos, or some other suitable material,
ensuring an airtight seal. The plug is easily removed by the use of a
spanner, and requires only a plain hole -- no need to cut threads.

Unfortunately there was only a limited market for this device, which
largely evaporated during the Great Depression. The inventor died a
pauper in Milwaukee in 1931, allegedly drowned when a vat of soup
tippled at a soup kitchen.
