rear hub nut

trying to replace rear mud shield but not sure what size of 12 point socket required to remove hub stake nut and also torque setting please

have you got rave on your pc ?

If its the same as a P38 then its 32 mm and bloody tight (420 nm or 311 lbs ft )

Get RAVE and the torque is as above according to my copy....looking at the procedure, you may need special tool to pull the drive shaft onto drive flange...never done it, so don't know if it can be done without the tool!

stake nut looks around 38mm definately not 32mm

Inch and half, does it matter?

wouldnt bother replacing mud shield,they are better removed

thanks for socket size if you don't fit mud shield how does handbrake work

It won't,
Never looked at mine but i believe handbrake is shoes within the disc, obviously the cable needs a back plate to work so i think you can ignore that silly suggestion.... Whats up with your backing plate, Corrosion at mounts?

Badly corroded and pins no longer have any metal to hold on to,does the hub pull off easily once the nut is removed and do you know torque setting when i replace nut

You have been told above....

420Nm or 311ftlb

Also you may need a special tool to pull the drive shaft into the drive flange...

Get the RAVE manuals this will detail everything you need to know and have asked....

Don't want to have to repeat myself again!

If you want to prolong the agony of replacing plate, try adding large spreading washers to rear of plate where pins go through, keep them slim,
smear copper grease on them and plate, you never know, just might work for a year or so?
