32mm ISTR 1-1/4" Certainly that's the rears anyway. Thumbs Up

You need to tighten up to 350Nm!!!! when putting it back together.
LR Instructions say you should use a new halfshaft nut as well. Bodsys Brake Bible

Cheers mate if its that tight then I will need to get myself a breaker bar with 3/4 inch drive and a impact socket to go with it. I don't have a Torque wrench thta will tightned it up to 350nm will have to shop around first.

I think somebody else posted that they too didn't have a torque bar that size, so they stood on the end of the breaker bar and it's been fine since. TBH I have a torque wrench up to 300, so I'd do it up to that and then stand on a breaker bar too! Bodsys Brake Bible

Thanks for that ifo. Did you use a 1/2 inch drive or a 3/4 inch drive as i am nit sure the 1/2 inch drive would be strong enough and may shear off. Thumbs Up Don't be blinkered vision, see the world in colour.

Good Quality 1/2" drive. But must be about on it's limit, I'd ideally use 3/4, but I don't have any.... Embarassed Bodsys Brake Bible

32mm ½" drive & breaker bar is OK with the "fat bloke on a big bar" method - worked for me Razz Clive

Thanks for the advice but I think I'll go for the 3/4 inch drive to be on the safe side. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Don't be blinkered vision, see the world in colour.
