What's is the socket size and torque for the front hub nut? Need to get it out but it seems huge for the size of the car. Measured it seems 35 or 36mm but want to be sure

Re: DS3 front hub
I'm pretty sure that is a 35mm nut and the torque will be 110 NM
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Sorry Dylan I put the wheel nut torque there not the hub nut which I believe is 320 NM !!

It's FT in the vernacular. I use a long breaker bar with a 5 foot length of gas pipe slid over to loosen it off.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

35mm, PSA have been using it for years. A 36mm six sided usually works. Yes, torque is 240 lb ft - it's not as tight as you think, that's only my 200 lb standing on 14" of breaker bar.
