   4 bolts hold the main part of the axle on right?? well 2 of them i have got off with a socket but the other 2 bolts am totally different??? they are about 17 mm in size but a socket will not go on to them at all, any ideas where i can get a socket or sum kind of tool to remove them? citreon dont know where i can get the tool from and without showing them the bolts they cant give me any ideas but surely if i had the bolts off i wouldnt need to ask them

   you need longer sockets or try puting socket over nut then bar into the socket as thats what we had to do when changed mine
