Paul Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 As it says really. Can anyone tell me off the top of their heads what the nut size is? I have it in mind that it was 32mm, but it was a long time ago that I last pulled it apart. TIA Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Depends if it's a metric or imperial one, metric is 30mm. It could be either as they are totally interchangable, only the thread is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_a Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 30mm was the size of mine I removed off a 1986 90 and it was also the size of the new one from paddocks. You really do need the spanner to do that job, I found focus selling a pack of 30/32/34/36/38 mm spanners for £15. You can't get a an adjustable on it, you can't get a socket on it. so you probably need to buy the spanner before starting the job. As I found out... .

Paul Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thanks fellas, 30mm it is then. I've replaced the balljoint before, but I used a borrowed socket set to do it. My sockets stop at 27mm. I'm not replacing the balljoint this time, but removing the entire rear axle housing, and the balljoint seems to be the best place to split it.
