Driveshaft Nut size!
Hey, its not only the wettest day ever but I am trying to change the outer CV boot on my 16V. Ok i though until I am really struggling to get a socket to fit. Ive tried a 34mm and a 36mm, on too small and one too big. Trying to find somewhere that does a 35mm is a hard task too!
What size socket do i need?!
Thanks
TIM

Factory fitted is 35mm (1-3/8 or 11/8 inch)
A 34mm socket will positively not fit. A 36mm socket will slip when you are steamed up with 3/4" tommy bar etc. - and then you will positively hurt yourself

I tried the 36mm after finding it hard to get a 35mm. Ill try looking for an imperial size one. The 36mm resulted in the following:
oops, becoming an expensive job in just tools, not parts!
Tomorrow is another day though and things may go better, fingers crossed they cant go any worse than my luck today.
