Hi all, on the main shaft of the gearbox, what is the big nut (the one that looks like a 34-35mm nut) does anyone know exatly what it is as i don want to get a 34/35mm spanner/socket if it doesn't fit etc.
Thanks

And order a deep/long socket! It's the same as needed for the ball joints >_<

As Quoted, use a Ball joint socket as it's deep enough to go over the end of the 3rd motion shaft.
