Yup... I was going to say it was 240Ft Lbs.. Its a tight Bugger. And Its a 41mm socket from memory.
Also be aware one is Right Hand and the other is left hand thread.
So make sure you put the shafts on the correct sides, or the nuts might come undone. Which is not a good experience. I've been there with a Caravan that lost a wheel doing 45mph in Bank Holiday traffic... many years ago and its not nice!

I made this up to undo and do my nuts up nice and tight.

Are your Nuts Too Tight?
Are your Nuts Too Tight?

yep thanks for the tips.

i persume as long as they both do up towards the front/undo towards the rear they would both be correct???

thanks again
