If you wanna nip down to halfords and get a socket to remove the wheel, what size is the nut?

TIA

46mm, and get your local machine shop to grind it down to the same height as the faces on the nut.

Yup, 46mm. Normally they only have in stock the 1/2" impact version. No problem there. Best to grind the rounded bevel type edge off so you get the maximum grip. Best few quid you can spend. Don't forget the torque wrench or scaffold pole.

46mm but bet your halfords wont stock one go to descent tool shop or I bought mine from Dennis Trollope racing on tel 01179570821 and buy a torque wrench at the same time

One of the best places to pick one up is on the tool stands you get at the variuos show around the country.

There`s no real need to spend a fortune on a brand name so long as its of reasonable kwolity!

I to would recomend that you get the face turned down so as to get a betteer fit against the wheel.
