Awesome write up Kirkynut. Thanks.

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

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.

Tony :)

Can anyone tell me a procedure for checking the vacuum?
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??
