on both my 84 and 85 4kq the front and rear axle nuts were different
sizes, one is 30 and one 32mm, (or 28 and 30...) can't remember which was
which off hand but I assume 32 on the front that you're doing Brady? Worth
remembering, particularly when you order the new axle (they are oval self
locking) nuts that you'll need to replace if you go this route, or go to
the tool shop to just get a 30mm socket - btdt on both counts:(

hth

Graham.
