what year is your car?

Should be 36 mm, in the future year would be helpful as Rich sez!

sorry, it's 99 gp se. I found the right one, 36mm may be good but 1 3/8 that's the right one. Thanks guys anyway. I'm still fighting with this axle nut. Gotta go

axle nuts are tight, most are 180ft/lbs+, so you'll need a good breaker bar and a strong back also. Don't forget, lefty loosey, righty tighty,

Finally!!! I did it. Wow. It's like brand new car now. Everything works smoother, finally i got ABS and traction plus power steering works much better now and (maybe it's just me) acceleration is better. Anyway it was worth back pain
