Hub Nut Socket Set
Like the fool I am I lent my hub nut socket set to a mate a few years back and never chased him up to get them back, he's now in Australia and
can't remember what he did with them.
Anyone seen any bargains out there?
Biggest socket I have is 32mm, I have the clutch to do on my pug 406 which I think will need a 35mm socket for the hubs but rather than just buying
that I'd like to get a set which will hopefuly cover all eventualities above 32mm in the future.

Perfect planning prevents pi$$ poor performance!

Get yourself a 3/4" socket set, my set goes from 19mm to 50mm and get a cheap set coz everything is so big there is very little chance of
damaging it

Make sure you get bi-hexagonal sockets (as the ones in Tom's link above are), a lot of stuff these days doesnt use a plain six-sided nut, VAG
stuff off the top my head for a start.

Set looks good but I'm pretty sure the hub nut on my pug is 35mm? A 36 will probably do it but I'd risk chewing the nut up a bit. Are
standard sockets deep enough for most hub nuts? My previous set was deep impact sockets.
