Re: Hub nut
Dunno but you need a piece of 2" pipe, 8 feet long with a 15 stone person swinging out of it ......

and a second 15 stone bloke with big boots holding the socket on the ridiculously shallow nut itself with his foot!
My local garage are nice chaps and lent me their monster torque wrench (about 5 feet long) to do mine a while back. What syncropaddy says is just as effective though.
