I need to remove a half shaft. The outer flange nuts/ bolts (wheel side) have undone ok. They are 14mm nuts but no lock washers are present. Should they have washers ?
I can't undo the nuts on the differential side of the shaft. I can't get a socket nor a ring spanner over them and an open ended spanner is not fully on the nut. It looks like a previous owner has used imperial 11/18 ths nylon lock nuts (tiny bit bigger than 17mm). I cant feel a head on the bolt on the other (blind) side.
What nuts/bolts should be on the diff side flange ? Should they also be 14mm or are owners modding this diff side with bigger nuts and locking ones.
Any info and advice would be gratefully received. I don't want to pass this job onto a garage but either way I'd like to replace with the proper nuts/bolts.
