Had hard time finding this somewhere else. NICO doesn't have this info, so I'll add.

Front on S13 is 30mm, S14 is 32mmRear is 36mm on both

Hey everyone, instead of making a new thread I thought i would just add to this one.

I was just wondering what techniques you all used to remove your rear wheel bearing lock nuts?

I have put the car in first gear but I cannot get any resistance to loosen these bolts. I do not have access to any air unfortunatly either. Thanks in advance for any input.

Edit: I found that leaving the car in first gear and yanking the e-brake was still not enough resistance to loosen the bolts. So I had to put the wheels back on and then lower the car off the stands and actually stand on the breaker bar to get it to break free.
