What's the front disc hub nut size on a mini/metro hub (retaining the drive flange)?

[Dan]

1 and 5/16". Not 15/16 as it appears written in many catalogues.

O that's an ugly size... 33.3 mm :\ can't use a metric socket that's even close, and finding imperial sockets individually here in such large sizes is problematic. I'll keep looking!

Thanks!

All the Mini specialists sell one, so you can get it mail order. Doesn't weigh that much really, I could weigh one if you like to get an idea of postage.

It weighs less than a kilo. I got mine from DSN Classics, It cost about a tenner.

I use a 33mm impact socket from Halfords and it works okay. Cost about £6 I think.

Depending on where you live, check supply houses for agricultural equipment. A lot of older, large farm equipment will use "inch" fasteners and will likely have the tools at a lower price.
