Re: Nut Size

[Bill Cawley <bcawley@nwrain.com>]

I stand corrected. :-}  Sometimes these are replaced with 15mm hardware but you
are right the factory (ie correct) parts are 17mm.  The only thing in that
procedure that I went out to check was the size of the center nut (30mm) as I
would not want to have him go out and buy the wrong tool. (hopefully he already
has 15 and 17mm sockets/wrenches)

Something else to note is that sometimes my black impact (thick walled) socket
will not fit in certain hubs, so a crome (thin walled) socket has to be used.  I
suggest buying the crome Craftsman 30mm socket as they will replace it even if
you damage it with an impact gun.
Good luck!      Bill Cawley
