rear drum question

[GTV]

I have to remove and replace the rear cylinder on my Vario over the weekend, just a quick question does anybody know the size of the bolt holding it on?
many thanks

just looked on www.vagcat.com, but it only lists the bolt as an M16 which isn't what you want to know!

I 'think' it's something like a 28mm nut, but can't be fully sure sorry

u mean the hub nut or the little bolt that goes through the drum into the hub? hub nut is 30mm.

the bolt that holds the cylinder to the drum, been told its an allen key but the wife has the car so I can't check until the weekend when I want to start the job.
Just want to make sure I have to tools to finish the job.

oh rite its a pair of 5mm allen key bolts. best try 6mm first tho.
