Errr..... A common size found in socket sets........  :grin: :laugh: :rolleyes:

I think its 17mm... or 19mm.......  but it wont be much tighter than finger tight if theres movement in them tbh.....

Are you lot mad? They are about 30mm ain't they? There's no way they are 17 or even 20  :grin:
I ask as I think the biggest socket bit I have is 30mm and if it was bigger I would have to drive 15 miles to nick one off me dad  :grin: didn't want to take the wheel of and the cap just to realise I Gota put it all back on and drive to get one.

If your on about the. rears you wont need a socket as it shouldnt be tight enough to warrant one,just grip it with some pliers.

Haha yes where did I get 17 from, that's the stub axle bolt size pmsl, the crown nut is more like a 24, just looked at one I have in the door pocket, I know my front nuts are 30, I know for sure the size needed is in my cheapi socket set that goes from 8-32mm so you'll have it... Unless you lost it pmsl

Once the split pin is removed you shouldn't require a socket, if you do then I'd be seriously concerned at why you've been driving it whilst it was seized!
