I know the sockets you're on about, "Urwin" I think they're called, 21mm seems to ring a bell on maximum size.

Yep, mine looked like a rust nugget too, but I reckon with a clean up a good dosing of WD40/easing oil, the right socket and a nice long breaker bar, it should move.

Noticed my tyres are wearing on the inside, so looks like it wont be long before I'm changing bushes on the rear. |

I'd give it a wallop with a hammer as well to unlock the rust lock that will have been created and also try a little jet on it then an ice cube on the threaded driveshaft part to keep the nut a bit warmer and thus a little oversized and easier to get off if your quick FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Actually, I think I'll video it .... Hearing me swearing will give you a bit of a laugh, and all you US chaps can see what real rust is like. V8 or else ... |

You don't need to touch the hub nut when changing the rear bushes |
