Measured it at 35mm - Bought a 35mm impact socket and used it with impact gun. Came straight off with the gun. Socket felt a little loose and still not sure its not a 34mm nut??

Job to measure with a tape as shaft thru centre of nut prevents you from getting tape close to nut for measuring. 35mm fits but a little play so now thinking it may be 34mm. Didn't matter in end as impact gun removed in 2 secs without having to strap up hub to stop it spinning

it's all up to you whether you believe is 35mm or not i use 35mm socket, Dan (above) agree with me, addaz (future master tech in pug dealership) also said 35mm, plus you did use 35mm socket to remove the nut

No axe to grind, 35mm worked for me as i said, but it wasn't a tight fit. Just sayin
