hub nut/king nut
« on: July 09, 2009, 04:15:42 PM »

i know for the cally you need a 30mm deep socket to get the hub nut off but i was wondering if it's the same on all vx's?

gotta muck about with a corsa c saturday and need to get some tools ready.

I don't think you'll need the deep socket on the corsa mate but take it to be on the safe side, make sure you have plenty of tea brakes, it's not often you'll see a panda working on a car lol :P

I always find it a pain in the ass to undo hub nuts!

Even with an impact wrench!
