Evening all, can anyone tell me what socket I need for the driveshaft retaining nut on my T6?
It's a 12 point socket but unsure of size.
Cheers in advance .
 
Off the top of my head I think its about 32mm.
The manual only gives the torque. 200nm back off 180deg 200nm again. Do you have a torque wrench that goes to 200nm.
also manual stresses that you must not undo that nut more then 90deg with the van on the ground.

And thanks for the extra info too.
Yep got a torque wrench that will do 200 nm.
Would never have thought about the 90 degree with van on ground mind
 
I have a metrinch socket that is marked 31/32mm that fits but I 'modified' it to fit something else (I can't remember what now, might be the hubs on the Caterham) which I used to get them off but I needed an assistant to press the socket onto the hub while I levered on the breaker bar. I'd like to add a proper sized socket to my toolbox to tighten them back up again.
So 30mm 12 point socket from B&Q it is then, let's see if there's one nearby..
