if your stuck just use 3ft bar on what youve got and pulltight,brgs adjustment is set with solid spacer between them,its just to hold shaft tight,

I thought about doing that, but as i have not done bearings before i was going to do what the manual says. I have a torque wrench but can't seem to find a suitable hub spanner.

thanks a bit more than hub a spanner, but no doubt a good addition to tool kit.
Will try somewhere local in morning.
thanks

there no reason other than been tight does it need to be torqued,brgs have already been set with spacer if you can crush brgs or spacer by over tightening then they wont last long ,the spacers there so idiots can tighten nut without altering or having to set brgs

what did you heat it up with ?get a decent sharp cold chisel and try and split each flat ,it will stretch it
