Charged VR 0 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 The Nut is a 12 sided 30mm, Halfords normaly have these sockets, Try giving it a nip, wont do no harm, is nothing rubbing? how low did you go? Link to post Share on other sites
kniterider 0 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 deffo nothing rubbing, have double checked that, i will try giving it a nip up 1st as there is a teeny bit of play, will probably still be noisey after, ony £17 for a new bearing from eurocarparts and will use the press at work thanks for the info on the socket, i might have a 12 point rather than my 6 poin one at work too so ill check...
