Hey guys,

I am in the midst of doing my rear suspension and I am removing the wheel hubs to replace the wheel bearings and replace the boots on the CV Axles.

So unlike the E30 when I removed the Brake Disc I am met not with a big 24mm nut for the axle, but a almost pin hole sized opening.

According to that diagram there is some bolt that goes in there, but it's isn't clear to me just what it is, also the part isn't listed any more?

Can anyone clear this up? I have a hub separator, but I don't want to damage some odd bolt that I can't replace.

Thanks
