Hi, iam trying to help my friend with her TVR Gratura 62 model smile
Her husband has passed and I know nothing of pommy cars frown

Can someone tell me the socket size for the single nut holding the front spoke wheels on, as one is flat?

cheers Bernie

the nut is inside the wheel hub about 6"
Can barely see it, let alone measure it frown
Have searched car for socket, nothing

Hi there
no , she has a trident as well with that big nut on outside.
But the TVR wheels have "spinners" which I unscrewed.
Now as mentioned there is a 6" hub with a huuge nut in deep on the spline?
bigger than 1"

Thought yu guys would know straight away, so I don't have to buy half a dozen sockets smile
cheers Bernie (from southend, now in Brisbane aust)

Thanks Bernard, hey good name smile
So just the spinner holds the wheel on ? frown

For the record, ive been working on Falcon GT's Mustangs and 100's of other Fords in last 35 years smile
I never work on pommy cars, so no nothing of them.

Il spray some WD40 around and try removing the wheel.
thanks Bernard
