just short question if i may, What size is the Hub nut (mm) so i can order a socket to fit please. Its also know as the Axle nut , Drive shaft nut possibley more names.

 

19mm is the correct socket size for the wheel Nuts

 

Its not the wheel nuts thanks the hub nut that goes on the end of the drive shaft and hold the bearing , hub and drive shaft to the car.


Also is it ment to be a nut with a collapsible edge or a locking washer thing or just alot for force to stop it undoing itself.

 

It's 32mm. Just an FYI, unless you have a [good] air impact gun, you're going to find it's next to impossible to remove. I attempted it by hand before failing and using that as an excuse to finally get a compressor and air tools.

 

My apologies mate, it'd been a long day and I misread your post.

However, 32mm as stated by spielnicht - sounds right for the Hub Nut.
(dunno about the economics of his rattle-gun though)

Have a nice day.....

 

I dont think im going to find it hard to remove as it nearly feel off . causing me to have no breakes for a sec and the then caliper touching the disc pulling the stearing voilently away from me and destroying the disc.

I think the guy i brought the car from 1.5 months ago has put new bearing on and did NOT do the nut up tight enough.

The problem im going to have is making 200+ nm of torque to do the new one up with out air tools. And lastly thank you for the answer.

 

Its alright ill forgive you this time

only joking thanks for the help

 

I have a $15.00 torque wrench (years old) which has the old analogue dial and pointer on it.... on the other end - it has a 1/2" socket drive via 400mm handle length. It has scale up to 200Nm so, its safe to say that any long handle socket drive (400mm +) will deliver the torque you seek.

Nope, I'm not at all sold on the rattle-gun approach.

Good luck with it anyways....
