Help - on my G33 front hubs rather than there being a hub nut there is a sort of circle with a nut shaped hole in it - looks to be somewhere around 40mm or so (i should have measured it!).

Anyone know what this is off, or what specialist tool i need?

Thanks.

Spoke to a mate who knows Cossies, turns out the hub nut is on the inside of the hub, not on the outside! (it's a rwd Cosworth front hub you see)
Just purchased the required 41mm socket. wink
