   They are 30mm mate. And I would recommend using a torque wrench getting them on and off.
   
   They are just recommended mate as you have to stake them in place each time you take them off and put them back on

   Exactly what it says on the tin mate lol. It's the big 30mm bolt you will see in the middle of the hub when you take the wheel off
