CycleSi Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I've got a 2002 R300 Superlight with a De Dion axle and Ford diff and I'm replacing the rear pads/discs tonight.I know the torque setting on the large hub nut is 270nm but can anyone tell me what the nut size is please so I can get the correct socket to fit it.Somebody suggested it 'might' be 42mm?Cheers,Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yup 41mm Maybe someone local has one you could borrow. They are costly. I have one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Agree 41mm. I've one you can borrow if you're near/in Dorset. JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm sure I paid about a tenner for mine. And then promptly ground the heck out of it so that it will fit through the centre of my wheels. Rope a mate in to help stomp on the brakes and get a whacking great breaker bar to undo those nuts. And remember that one side is a left-hand thread.

John Vine Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 If it helps re handedness.... From the Assembly Guide: Place the thrust washer over the driveshaft and secure using the 41 mm nyloc nut (LH plain insert, RH green insert) noting that the LH nyloc nut has a LH thread. ETA: If you plan to buy a socket, there's a good offer here: http://www.drapertools.com/product/26669/Expert%2041mm%203-4inch%20Square%20Drive%20Hub%20Nut%20Impact%20SocketJV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I never had a problem with a 1/2" impact wrench to undo the 41mm nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 A long breaker bar is your best friend. Leverage makes it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Just for Information. Right hand side rear hub hut, Genuine Ford Part Number 6133688, packaged 17/11/2017, and supplied by CC is no longer 41mm but 42mm. The left hand side kit supplied rear hub nut (at the time of posting) remains the familiar 41mm, but this could just be old stock because the ford packaging / label looks older and there is no packaging date.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 7, 2020 Member Share Posted January 7, 2020 Very helpful. Thanks.Any change to the recommended torque?JonathanPS: Who's going to be first to add a 42 mm socket to the Equipment for Loan Register? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Or linish down the faces of the new nuts ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 No torque change 270Nm the Ford part number remains the same so it's Fords change not CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECR Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Very surprising if Ford have changed a design but kept the same part number..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Obviously I have photos for the build blog, but genuine Ford part supplied by CC, bag opened by me. Part number remains unchanged, only difference is the packing date and the newer look to the label. It would be nice to get a same age left hand thread nut to see if that remains 41mm.

GulfSeven Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Bit of a thread resurrection, but are the hub nuts on current cars 41mm or 42mm? I need to buy a socket.I want to be able to check my diff preload as per this guide, but that doesn't list the size either.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
