If you are talking about the sleeve nuts , i use a 3/8 drive socket set and a tee bar . Sometimes even a metric socket 11 mm i think.  Swearing always helps. They need to be tight as they can work loose.

Thanks for that David .  Yes Robert it's the sleeve nuts I am on about. I have got a 7/16" half inch drive socket on them. With half inch drive bar. I just put the socket on the nut through the spokes then past the drive bar through the hole in the hub. Its just that i didn't  want to put to much force on them and ruin something without knowing which thread it was.   

Thanks, 

        Barry.
