drive shafts

Post by bigblue2 »

after the help i recieved on my last issue i am hoping someone can give me some advice with removing the outer nuts on drive shafts, i have to change the wheel bearings on both sides and at the moment trying to find a local garage or engineer to press the old ones out and new ones in but first need to get the hubs off, my problem is i cant find a socket to fit , my set goes upto 32mm but that is to small i measured it across and it looks like 35mm (i maybe wrong) when i rang around tool suppliers they said nobody makes a 35mm socket, am i right with assuming its 35mm and has anybody any ideas as to where to get one
