| Re: What Socket For Removing Nut From End Of Fabia Cv Joint A 36mm 12 sided socket is the correct tool. Nuts are one use only and must be torqued up correctly and not over tightened. |

| Re: What Socket For Removing Nut From End Of Fabia Cv Joint The front bearing by rights should be removed and inserted using the correct puller as this avoids damaging the bearing and also makes sure it is pushed in the correct amount so the ABS sender lines up in the bearing.  Or this can happen (a car from a non Skoda garage with an ABS issue) bearing not inserted fully   Torque setting is 50nm + 45 degrees. |
