Hub nut size? - silverzx - 01-02-2013
Can anyone tell me the size of the nut in the centre of the hub as I'm trying to get drive shaft out of the gearbox for removal.
Biggest I had has 32mm so I'm guessing it's 34/36?
Re: Hub nut size? - aggyj17 - 01-02-2013
35mm but a 36mm will fit
RE: Hub nut size? - Mattcheese31 - 01-02-2013
35mm mate . .

I couldnt even find a 35 in halfords last time! Ended up buy a 36 for 12 f*cking quid!

Or use a blow torch just be careful of melting brake lines and boots

I wouldnt even attempt one without a bar! Having someone stand on the brakes tends to help

If you have centre less wheels remove the centre cap and slacken the nut with the wheels on the floor

They are bloody tight just keep bouncing on the bar it will go eventually. I find afew bounces stood on it works fine. Done several this way

We ended up taking whole hub out. Was much easier!

Just to add to that.... At the time I was 23stone bouncing up and down on mine still didn't budge.

Spike and I bent a bar like this so resorted to bouncing on my torque wrench - which I promptly broke

Thanks for the vote of confidence fella's.
RE: Hub nut size? - Tom - 02-02-2013
Either you lot have found some seriously tight ones or all the ones i've done have been easy... Or im hench as f*ck? lolz
But being serious i just lean over and pul the bar up towards me and never had an issue :/

My 35mm just slips too much, probably shouldn't have got an impact one.
What's the alternative? Whole Hub off? Trying to get the gearbox out.
