A few years ago i changed a rear hub on a zr, the new hub kit also had a 36mm hex nut instead of a 32mm, like Brian suggested just be careful unstaking the original and reuse it

Fitted a rear hub on a 03 cdti yesterday.
Already had a 36mm nut fitted & my 3/4 drive 36mm socket fitted inside the hub with no problem at all. |

With the same thread size, I'd fit a 36mm nut in preference to 32mm on the wheel hub. The reason seems obvious.

Ive just looked in the old zr manual and found written in the back by myself, n/s rear hub nut 32mm of/side 36 mm your average diyer might not have a 32 mm or 36 mm socket in their toolbox I think my biggest is 80 mm 3/4 drive

Hello David I bought 2 rear hubs from Mat at DMGRS and he supplied 32mm nuts .... the same size as I removed from my car. A 2002 1.8 Club SE. My tip, whichever size nut you use, make sure you have a good Torque Wrench .... they go on REAL tight!. I also used a hexagonal socket to ensure a good fit. Good luck! John

D'oh!
Sorry David (the OP) Just noticed this is an old thread reborn! Hope your hubs went on ok in 2013! My Torque Wrench and Hexagonal Socket comments are still relevant though Happy Roving all John .

All my nuts are still on yes. Since i ground down the outer skin of my 36mm socket i am gradually replacing with 36mm nuts whenever the need arises to remove one. The last was a front hub nut while i was replacing an abs sensor.

I have a set of rear bearings I bought last year some time that when I fitted one of them, I discovered that the nut supplied was a 32mm hex, but the thread was about 2mm too small for the stub axles - wierd and annoying.
At some point I'll fit the other one. |

We do indeed supply a 32mm nut, we like to stick with factory spec parts - hopefully our supplier will keep up stock of the 32mm and not move to 36mm.
