Do you happen to know the size of the "Hub Nut" socket to be used ? and should it be a deep socket or can a "normal" do ?

Hi Land Of Giants -
Yes of course I could, but I'm living in Denmark and I'm just trying to be as prepared as possible before I start, because I can't just go down on the nearest corner and buy parts or speciality tool if needed.

And Pat -
Thanks for a fantastic article I'll order a set of bearing and get the job done asap.
