Replacement Cones Nut for XT Freehub

After long time use in various track, that a had damage in my xt freehub . First there was lost power because of corotion  hence the lock nail was broken. Fortunately , i still went home from mountain leutik track with that matter. To fix that freehub , local technician was able to make it work like before, although the sound is rather noisy . But there was unavailable 17 pass wrenches to fix the cones make internal lock.
In a day after the cones gone  unlock again . if the cones is not  lock any more that mean the rim circle was not center hence make damage to the cones. As we know shimano part as special made. usualy not suitable with other common part in the market.
I was try to replace with other japan part in market but not suitable . there no other way unless to buy the new one freehub. i think that not worthy buy new hub set , because of one reason. The economic and reasonable is make a new cones ( imitate)   again . Yes I have to go and find a workshop that able to imitate the xt cones. XT cones is a special part . smaller than other cones nut so  lighter that other one.
Finally I  find Setuju Technik at Tengah street Purwakarta City. Setuju Technik manager, was deal to make two imitate cones nut with 50 k each.
I was take 2 hour to fulfill all process to get a set XT cones nut. But never forget that , the problem was no local technician own 17 mm special wrenches. that the problem . That tool maybe only make by shimano inc .
After make reduce thickness  of common 17 wrenches, finally I have 17 mm special tool to make my rim set fix again. As my experience , if you go to make your bicycle fix, don't shy to ask the technician do they have 17 mm wrenches? If they don't own it, be ready to make your cycle broken in next time. Some local  technician think that they can use f wrenches. But isn't work absolutely. The cones nut isn't interlock strongly .
