Chaps,

Can anyone tell me the socket size needed to undo the nut on the end of the sierra drive shaft (wheel end) please?

Thanks, Mark

41mm

I bought a 41mm impact socket for the job - it might take some considerable force to do the job (i had a 2ft breaker bar and still needed 4ft of scaffold bar on that)!!

cheers, I measured it as 41mm but thought they would only sell 40 or 42mm, so guessed I would need imperial which comes out as 1 inch 5/8ths which seemed a funny size.

Are 41mm easy to get hold of?

I'm sure I got mine in Halfords.

Got mine off Ebay for about £8

As said, its 41mm, I ground out a 40mm one which was cheaper/easier to get.

Don't forget one side is left hand thread
and one is right

yep, drivers side is normal, passenger side is left hand threaded.

I think they're £10 in Halfords

I've used imperial and metric when I've had too!
