I've got a 2002 R300 Superlight with a De Dion axle and Ford diff and I'm replacing the rear pads/discs tonight.

I know the torque setting on the large hub nut is 270nm but can anyone tell me what the nut size is please so I can get the correct socket to fit it.

Somebody suggested it 'might' be 42mm?

Cheers,
Si

as above... 41mm...
if you want to borrow a 41mm socket, send me a PM - no point buying one!

I've got Ap disc's and radial calipers on mine and I don't have to take the Hub nut off, are you sure you do?
