Thats because you need a free wheel nut remover kit!

Nothing like the right tool for the job!!

thanks Mike. seems a new tool is needed nearly every week for each new job

As always, loads of different tool kits and parts now available relatively cheaply on internet sites.

We`ve never had it so good. If I have a job to do, I often just buy the tooling rather than pay a third party to do the work. I let it be known locally I hold various tools and sooner or later someone asks me to repair something for them. A couple of jobs like that and invariably the tool gets paid for. My bench press is the one exception. Quite a few jobs needed to pay for that!

As regards alternator overhaul, a local old school auto electrician is often worth his weight in gold. I have a chap down here who has never failed to get a starter motor or alternator going again for me. Forty or fifty quid usually sees a tired unit restored to working condition. The fellow usually only takes a morning to get things fixed up and thats good enough for me and my customers. Bushes, bearings, slip rings and diode packs....no problem.

the one in the picture on that listing is not for XJ81, thats for sure.
the XJ81 version looks the same as 6cyl X300, battery in boot XJ40, 120amp
