popotla Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 What is the largest nut/bolt size on a 2005 Defender and where is it found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 52mm hub nut, off the top of my head. Are you asking the question with a view to buying a socket set? You don't need every other size up to 52mm and it would be more cost effective to buy the sizes you need, rather than a set you'll only use part of.

popotla Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yeah, my question really was about spanner sizes. I know it's wise "to buy larger sizes when you need them", but because we'll be on an overland journey in the Defender, that won't be easy or even possible. ("Here we are in the middle of the proverbial nowhere; need an X mm ring spanner but it's 300 km to the nearest village, etc.") Above 23 mm, say, what sizes might be needed?

bishbosh Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Sump plug? Radius / trailing arms 30mm deep socket. A frame to chassis bolts 27mm????? That's all I can think of at the moment..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
