Hi all,

 

Was wondering what size the front hub nut is on a MK2 Monte Carlo. I've heard 36 and 35 thrown around. And do I need to special socket to fit?

 

Thanks

Seeing as this nut has been used for many years on Polo/Fabia/Ibiza etc, its P/N is 6Q0 407 396B and it is described as a "double hex nut", a 16 point, or bi-hex socket will fit it and the size is 36mm.

 

One thing to watch out for is, the socket that you buy, typically a deep socket, should have a thin wall so that it fits inside the recess in the hub.

 

I bought an impact deep socket from Draper and it worked okay, Laser Tools make a similar socket under the part number 0954.

 

Remember to buy a new nut as these nuts are only meant to be used once.

35mm is equivalent to 1 3/8" so I doubt it's that size, 36mm bi-hex sounds about right.
