32mm ISTR 1-1/4" Certainly that's the rears anyway.
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. 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.... Bodsys Brake Bible
