Is that meant to mean no evidence of death wobble?

I have done 800 mile since the mod with no side effects and it took me 15 mins to do. just remember to put plenty of grease on the drill and tap if you do the job with hubs in situ to catch cuttings.

Good effort!

The nuts holding my hubs on don't look like E10 torx, they've got 12 ridges!

Can someone tell me what size these are?
I've had a search but can't find if anyone else has already asked so apologies in advance if its already been answered.

I blew down on pipe, going to hub, and got resistance, but the other just blew freely? Is there a seal somewhere in the vacuum hub which has gone??
