[s-cars] Front Hub Bolt questions

[Douglas Fifield]

FA says it is an M16 which I think is a 24mm socket size.  It's a use
once bolt and must be tightened with the car sitting on the ground.
Don't know why you couldn't loosen it when it's up in the air.

Also, how important is it to remove and tighten this bolt with the wheels on the ground?  The Bentley manual I have for the 200 (I don't have one for my S) says that the wheels must be on the ground......since I was r&ring the front brakes when I started this project, my front end is up and no wheels are on the ground.  Do I need to put things back together, then loosen?
