it is indeed a 41mm socket. whilst you're shopping, you may as well get a hardcore half inch breaker bar - the air wrench probably wont work, a
10mm diameter short air hose would help, but mine isnt up for much looser bolts, never mind hub nuts. Its quite easy with 2 people and a long
extension (at least 3 feet!). Make sure you get the thread direction right, as one is left handed. The last few threads should protrude through the
nut, so its easy to se which is which.
ps, be careful having the cv joints pressed at a big angle, im sure its bad for them
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

lol was only two of us and its damn heavy!! hehe its only like that today but i guess its the down side to getting second hand stuff eh hopefully
though when i get it sorted tommorow striped to bits etc all looks good
got a breaker bar 3 foot job so should do the job but the snap on impact things meant to shift up to 500 nm apprently lol !!! so we shall see but ill
give the bar a go tommorow
ill make sure i get the directions right

Oh at least the diff is already free of it's bracket - that's something.
The trouble with a breaker bar is stopping the shaft just turning. Just persevere with the impact gun on it's highest setting. It may seem at
first that it's not up to the job and wont move the nut at all, but each impact is helping and eventually it will spin off.
The near/passenger/left side is the one with the reverse thread - dont sit there for five minutes tightening it up!
Good luck
Liam

Halfords don't sell them any more, but you probably already found that out...
