Front calliper ?

The front caliper hex/allen bolts are (guess) 12 or 14 mm, I remember I had to buy two large keys for them as the standard set did not go that high. Do not buy "keys" buy something that will fit on a ratchet, 1/2 drive ideally.

I cannot recall having to take the driveshaft nut off though ? Are you sure its not just the calliper carriage and the disc screw holding it ?

I'm unsure if a special adaptor (in theory) is needed ot reset the front bearing play but this may be separate to the disc, but as I say I cannot remember (or envisage) you needing to undo the hub nut to get the brake disc off...

I've got a 12&14 12 is to small and the 14 is to big unless there is a load of crap in there.

All the smaller cars/ vans I've had all had a grub screw holding the disc in place but not in this one the only thing I can see holding the disc on there is the driveshaft nut

I've done some googling and from what few articles I can find it appears it's a 41mm
