Hi
Does anyone know the size for a saxo mk1 1.1 hub nut ?

i think its either 32 or 34mm, and its peened into indents on the drive shaft stub,

they do recomend you fit new every time they are removed,

i find quite often you can switch left and right from one side to the other the first time off,

and if your a real skin flint you can file the mateing surface down a touch, as this allows you to wind it a little, so you have unused metal to peen over,

It is recommended to replace them, dealers always will (or should) , but as above you can swap them if you wanted to as the peening will be in a different place. Obviously only works once.
