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

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 Sad

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.
