		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?

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

		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.
