I need a socket to undo the rear hub nut, forgot to bring the measurement with me to work .

They are bigger than the fronts.... Ta... .


.

 

41mm

 

Cheers

 

-41mm !!!!!!!!-you sure??? ----------41mm

 

Are some of the keys on your keyboard sticky?

- and ! for example

If you know its not 41mm then please feel free to write the correct answer.

 

the correct answer has already been stated tho

 

yup 41 and remember the passengers side is "on for off" so do it up to undo it if you get what i mean ! drivers is just normal undo to undo
thats on a right hand car btw lol

 

well it would be the same on a lefty J1mbo. Right?

 

yes but as your passengers side is our drivers it would be


the drivers side is "on for off" so do it up to undo it if you get what i mean ! passengers is just normal undo to undo

 

the colour of the nylcok is different on them too

 

its got to in depth now

 

easiest way to say it is look at the back of the car left side is left hand thread right side is right hand thread

oh and thet bloody tight, get a scaffold bar as i think you will need it

 

big half inch air gun will do it if you hav access to one

 

3/4" drive socket
3/4" drive 500ft/lb torque wench
off it comes

(althgouh i did use a steely spare with the brakes off so it would fit, then let it down and got a few bricks and the car in gear to get it off once and the other time i chopped a bit chunk out of the nut in order to replive some tension )

 

I used a big old torque wrench on mine the other day... Put all my weight behind it and smashed the inside the of the wrench to fooking bits... I then realised it was a left hand thread... doh ...came off easy when I undid it the right way

 

I wimped out in the end !

Just took the rear wishbones to my local garage, they un-did the main hub
nuts and the four smaller hub ones for me too..

Sometimes you need a air ratchet .

whimp

 

just undone mine, 3/4 drive socket with a power bar and extension pipe on the handle, and another powerbar through the wheel bolts wedged to the floor of the garage. She was tight but went in the end, no damege to the wheel bolt threads either.
putting lowered springs on the back, then on the front next time, and new drive shaft gators.

 

lol.. i was just being lazy, had to take my dad's landy in for a MOT, so as
the cossie's in bit's i thought sod it and took em with me..

have modified the nuts for my rear hubs.

took them down to 36mm.

 

i take it this is for weight reasons..
why not use hollow grp a shafts ???
the nut size on grp a ones are about 30mm or 1-3/16"

or 30.16 mm to be exact

 

hello Jim

36mm, thats the size of the biggest socket in my tool box. (It also helps for the weight).

there are hollow shafts on the GpA car here, the shafts are light and yes, the wheel nuts are all the same size, makes sense doesn't it.

I've been looking at getting new hollow shafts made, looking at the most cost effective options. as long as the hollow shafts can take the torque from the new engine. Also lighter plunge joints are on the cards.

 

the hollow shafts will take more than the "solid" standard ones as the hollow shafts will twist more before breaing so allowing them to take more power
the old mans car is 600+ hp and 450 lbft trq and the shafts get lots of abuse and are fine (touch wood !!)
