Steve, a Mangusta axle nut is one thread size smaller than that of a Pantera, so the vendor wrenches won't fit. I made one specifically for Mangustas a few years ago and gave it to Jim Kuehne (when he still had his Mangusta) for Nor-Cal Chapter use. See if he still has it- you should keep it now. That's assuming your Goose has ring-spanner nuts, not hexagonal ones. I've seen about every fastener possible attached to Goose axles....

Hi Steve,

http://www.momento.se/wp-conte...Katalog_2011_web.pdf

page 110 (108 if you look page numbers of the print rather than browser number)downwards are the internal four tooth ones. If you can find what you need, I can get it and ship it for you. It will cost an arm and leg, but quality is good. I bought momento for Pantera myself, and I'm still trying to recover from the shock of the price. I think it was in the ballpark of 200e. I still don't want to talk about it. Maybe someone from Sweden could get it cheaper.

That being said, coupled with the big Makita battery powered impact wrench, it took me 2 seconds to open the nut.

Just found out tat Larry Stock at PPC-Carson City has three Mangusta-specific axle nuts in stock for around $57 USD.

Janne, HEY!

WOW! That is a great tool catalog!!!

At this point, I am not sure what size I need for my car....as it looks different from the other one that someone sent me. And after reading Jack's note, about different fasteners being used......I would hate to buy one expensive tool, only to discover that I need a different one later....!!!!

Thank's for the link!!!

Ciao!
Steve

No Problemo,

Let me know if I can help!

Cheers,

I think these guys have the version I need for a 45mm diameter nut. Probably a larger one for Pantera? "TMFS6" is the pn#.

E64 price is about what Paterror posted above.....$85 or so.
