98 Ford fiesta wheel bearing nut socket size?

[mrth]

I know this is very specific but someone here may know, I'm Changing the shoes and need to remove the baring nut to get the drum off, I don't have the right size socket in my set, what size is it? 27mm is too small (been to Halfords)

When working as a technician for a ford dealer we removed the drum and bearing assembly by taking out the 4 bolts on the back of the drum with a deep 15mm socket if memory serves correctly! This stopped the bearing being damaged and having to re - torque the bearing nut which is 32mm i believe. Hope that helps.

True,if people only look at the grease cap(its not re usable,it will let the weather in cus you damage it on removal)you a correct the four bolts must be removed.
