Rear Spheres

Xantia 19TD L reg (not anti sink)
Decided to change the spheres so I bought 5 spheres from GSF. The front went on a doddle.
When it came to the back I noticed that the spheres had a handy 19mm nut on the end so I thought this was to get it off with. No. The nut turned independently of the shpere so I tightened it again. My replacements do not have this nut. What is this about? Are the replacement N45366 the right ones? I haven't put them on yet.
Thanks

yes they are the right speres i had the same on my xantia and was told they are recon ones do not undo the nut if the speres are pressurised as it could fly out at tremendos pressure and cause you some injury you have been warned i can talk from exreience when i attemted to undo one i was lucky but never found the nut

The replacement spheres will have a bolt in the end of them perhaps one which doesn't have a hex head (it may just look round), this holds the internal parts of the sphere together and stops the gas from coming out.
