Front tie rod - Nut Size?

[Big Daft Lad]

I'm doing a front suspension rebuild on the 200, can anyone tell me off hand the size of the bolt on the end of the tie rod that goes from the lower wishbone to the chassis. I can't get in easily to measure it and I need to buy a deep socket to fit.

It's been a hard day getting this far....

Cheers.

I think you will find it is 27mm and you are right you will need a deep socket to clear the thread length - did mine just recently.

I used a 27mm spanner.

Be careful if you are renewing the nut as there are two different thread types.
