Megane rear hub nut

Unread post by matt615 »

I want to check the brake shoes on my 1998 Megane. The Haynes manual says that I need to remove the hub nuts to do this, and that I should use a new hub nut on refitting. Is it necessary to use a new hub nut? If so where would be the best place to obtain one? Thanks

Well I have some brake shoes, but there is no hub nut with them. Where would be the best place to buy new hub nuts? I'm struggling to find anywhere that stocks them. Would it be a case of going to a Renault dealer and paying their silly pices?
