41mm I believe.
I'd recommend getting an impact grade one- you'll need it! 
Good luck getting it off. Remember the near-side has a left hand thread.
All the best,
James

Mark, rather than using stilsons with the attendant damage they do, make up a steel bar with holes to go over a couple of the wheel studs, bolt this
in place & hold in a big vise while you swing on the hub nut. I made a bar in 50mm X 10mm, cutting a half moon out of the side of one end to give
clearance for the socket. The one I have pictured was made for doing the pinion nut on a Land Rover but the idea is just the same, except the cut out
will need to be bigger. HTH Cheers, Steve.

Oh hell, Can anyone tell me why when I send a nice neat 80kb jpg I get back an unwieldy 900 + kb bmp, is it my computer or some thing I`m doing. Ta,
Steve.
