the hex nuts bolts that hold the rear section of the prop shaft to the diff? 8mm is too big and 7mm is to small :confused:. I've tried imperial but the biggest i've got is 1/4"

I took my old prop of my auto yesterday, will take one tomorrow to a local shop and get the exact measurements for you if any help and post back on here.

cheers mate :duffer: that would be great.

I've measured the size of the hex drive and it comes out at 7.5mm, problem is nobody seems to make a 7.5mm :confused: I've tried both AF and metric but nothing fits :headvswal.

 

Was there a nissan tool for removing the prop from the diff?

Help :(

DAve, sorry havent been able to get near a motor mart, ive got six spare, but might need them as im replacing my clutch this saturday, if i dont i can send them to you early next week. I used an 8mm allen key socket from Halfrauds and they came off no probs.

Stu

if you dont have the correct size there is a different way you can do it but it depends if you have the tools

 

if you have a welder ur away coz all you have todo it get say a 10mm bolt and tack weld it to the hex bolt then undo

 

i know that might not help you in the slightest .....

 

another way is to cut a flat screwdriver to the correct size and clamp a set of mole grips on to the shaft and try that :)

 

hth

with the 2nd way i prefer using a set of foot prints as the harder you push the tighter the grip gets :)

Stu - No worries mate :) so yours came off with an 8mm? I'll give it another go with an 8!

 

If that fails I'll try Matt's advice :D

Cheers

Got it off :dance: Turned out it was 8mm after all just clogged up with crap :x:

Oh well, you live and learn :D

nice one dave at least its off now :)

Was just about to say they are deffo 8mm!

They are actually torx bolts on mine, just look like hexs....
