    I realised that the rear wheel nut is pretty huge and tried every socket in the garage. Can anyone tell me the socket size I need for the rear?

    Cheers :dance3:

    RR7 is 33. I know this because every large set goes from 32 - 34. 33 had to bought independently.. Bleedin engineers

    A 33 would work just as well anyway TBH. It's a bit of a bastard size. Would never use a 33 on anything really.
