Axle Nut Size

[DDixon1000]

Anyone know the front axle nut size for a 2012 BMW 128i? Going to change the front hub but need to know what socket size to get.

Go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of the car’s vehicle identification number. Hit enter and bookmark the page. Scroll down to front axle.

There's no nut. There's no axle.

The hub bolts on from the inside, with 4 bolts. I recall them as being a fairly large e-torx.


EDIT:
Actually, realoem says they are hex head bolts, no head size given They are M12X1.5X60-10.9, and I believe they're included with the hub, but check with the supplier.
