Size of Nut on Rear Hub/Brake Disk

[chrisJDM]

Can anyone tell me the size of this nut, ive just taken my wheel off to then take of the brake disk and i dont have a wrench big enough :o

you dont need to take the nut off to get the disk off mate. that nut is purely for the drive shaft.

[chrisJDM]

thats good then silly me :Giggle

i managed to snap a bolt off a while back when i did one of the wheel nuts up too tight, do you think it would affect a mot?? im getting a mot done this tueday

[RobMatthews]

yes it will fail mot on a broken wheel nut!

[chrisJDM]

bugger im gona have to get that sorted then.  I havent been out to have another look yet but do i have to take the caliper off to get the disk off? how can i retract the brake pads? i dont have any specific tools for it

You didn\'t hear from me right, but you can glue a nut on to fool the mot man

calliper will come off if yo want to remove disc.
Once you slid the rear pads out the pistons turn to wind them in

ive managed to get the caliper off and then got the disk off which was very well rusted on.  I managed to knock the broken bit of stud out but it wont come all the way out :reallymad so it looks like that nut is gonna have to come off, and possibly have to put the driveshaft out aswell to get the hub off
