Removing the front struts off my Xantia and realised that my socket set does not go high enough to remove the drive shaft nuts.
Done a search and looks as though its a 35mm, just wanted to get confirmation that its correct, before I order one of these
Thanks again

I am fairly sure that I have been using a 34mm socket for the XM driveshaft nuts I undid earlier this week.
I will check tomorrow.

Yep, it's 35 mm. A 35 mm socket is also needed to drive the special tool which is used to unscrew the lower balljoint from the hub carrier.davetherave wrote:Im sure its correct, I had a ball ache finding one as i beleive its a Citroën peculiarity!
(I haven't needed to remove a driveshaft nut on my XM yet, but I think it's 35 mm there as well. At least the balljoint tool works with XM, too.)
