Does anybody know what size the rear wheel bearing nut on a GQ is & where i can maybe get the right size tool for it or have most just made something to suit. Cheers Loz.

I cant remember what size it is off hand, but I used a ring spanner.
I seem to remember it being the same size as the toyota hub nuts.
Will see if I can find an old nut tomorrow and measure it for you

Although as an alternative you could do as the bodgey mechanics do and use a cold chisel and hammer :shock:
