Hi

I hope someone can answer this question.

I have an Abbey Vogue 600 (twn axle) 2008. I am going to be checking the brakes, etc and want to change the 'one-shot' nuts at the same time. Does anybody know what size nut I should be buying. My local caravan dealer are not the most helpful pointing me to their workshop who refuse to tell me or sell me some (but will book it in!!). I have seen 32mm, 20mm and 36mm nuts for sale.

Many thanks

Les

can not help on the nut size,your main problem will be the re-fitting of the one shot nuts.ie.

a torque wrench capable of 290 + - 10 Nm ( 214 + - 7.5 lbs/ft ) most people would not have this unless they owned a landrover.above is for an al-ko chassis.believe they cost £90 to £ 100.

Hi Michael,

Thanks - torque wrench is not a problem. Friend doing the fitting is a commercial mechanic and funnily enough has been a Land Rover man for many years.
