Anyone know the size of the nut holding the hub assembly on. I only want to make one trip to the autopart store! It looks like it might be around 30mm...

Thanks

 

What's up Brian? Do mean the nut on the end of the CV shaft?

 

Not sure what options you have around here, but when I needed to remove an axle nut (not on the MINI) the local Murray's Auto Parts had a set of eight or so axle nut sockets of various sizes that I could use for free via their loan-a-tool program. I had to pay a deposit, but it was fully refunded when I returned the tools

Basically, that could probably save you some money, as well as a trip to the auto parts store. Unless taking off the axle nuts is something you plan to be doing a lot, the socket probably isn't something that you really need to own.

 

Yeah, that's the one. Well I went to Sears and purchased a 30mm and that was the wrong size! Went back to Sears and bought a 32mm. I am definitely gonna keep this around becasue I am gonna need to reinstall these axels in about a month or so. Thanks.
