Does anyone know what size socket is needed to remove the big bolt that holds each drive shaft in place on the front wheels of a Selecta? Can't find one the right size at home and don't particularly fancy buying aload of different ones hoping to get the correct one.

Many thanks.

Jon

have you tried a deep 32mm?

Nope. Will check but don't think we have a 32mm. We've some that are too big and others too small but nothing correct or even near. Its anoyed me as I must have used something to remove the one from the written off Selecta last year but can think what :bang:

i am not sure if 32 is right but its the one i use on most fiats, its the only large deep impact socket i have

Hello Jon.
Have just done physical check on two Selecta's, in both cases a standard 30m/m socket would suffice.

Just to confirm, I brought a 30mm earlier and that fits just right. Thanks guys.

aw missed it, I knew that one
had those hub nuts off so often over the last few weeks.

Just about to do this job. It's 30mm. Standard socket is fine, doesn't need to be a deep socket.

I use my trusty 30mm x 32mm ring spanner.
