TIA

Hi Phil

The rear hub nut is a 30mm 12 sided socket, you will need a 15mm and 13mm spanners for the calliper bolts (no need to remove carrier), a small chissle and hammer to remove hub nut cap, a three leg puller is advisable to remove the hub, but you could get away with hammering it off. Hope that helps?

Cheers

Paul
