Sorry...my next set of questions as I try and learn my way round the car. As usual apologies if already posted (I did look) and for the possibly basic questions.
I decided that I should look at the condition of the brakes and may be replace the shoes (never looked since getting the car, they work OK but do pull to one side). I got as far as removing the wheel and central hub cover...please see photo.
Questions are:
(1) How do I now remove this central nut? I assume it needs a 20 or 21mm spanner but how do remove it? The haynes manual talks about punching out the peening but I have no idea exactly what to do nor to what nor the tools required (presumably it is the bit in the photo where there has clearly been some hammering/chiselling on the side of the bolt?)
(2) Once the bolt is removed is there anything special needed to remove the hub cover to get to the brakes?
(3) When putting it all back together again, how do I lock this bolt again (presumably "re-peen"...but how? or do I need a new bolt?); or is there something easier/less destructive?
Any help gratefully received as always (please keep in as simple terms as possible).
Thanks guys (and gals ) :worship:
