wheel nuts are sizes are the same regardless. The sizes will be either SAE --metric --Asian or metric --Europe . So all you need is a flat bladed screw driver -to remove wheel covers and the socket that fits the nut and a strong bar about 24 " long. Being land rover and made by BMW the nuts will be europe metric the sizes will be the odd sizes of 16-18-20 mm
LUG NUTS CAN BE REPLACED.TAKE ONE LUG NUT WITH YOU TO ANY AUTO PART STORES. AND THE SALES PERSON CAN FIND WHAT THREAD SIZE AND LUG NUT SIZE YOU NEED.NOW IF LUG NUT STUDS BREAK OR STRIP YOU CAN BUY A TOOL TO PRESS OUT STUDS FROM THE ROTORS.CHECK ALL AUTO PART STORES FOR THE STUD PRESS OUT TOOL.IF YOU DONT FIND ONE.SNAP ON TOOLS OR MAC TOOLS WILL HAVE THAT TOOL.
block wheel on opposing side to avoid rolling.loosen lug bolts on wheel using lug wrench. donot completely remove nuts. place jack at designated position on side of car. diagram should be on spare cover in trunk under carpet along with the appropriate tools.raise vehicle with jack just high enough to clear ground. remove nuts and flat tire and replace with spare. tightened lug nuts and lower jack. check nuts again for tightness.
if you replace the rotor you shouldnt have to take the spindle nut off,if you are talkin about the lug nuts then they are 7/8" standard or 22mm metric,and the torque on those are 140 ft lbs.the rotor might just be rusted on,a good whack with a hammer after the caliper and caliper bracket have been removed should get it loose for you,hope this helps
If you have a socket you are willing to destroy, Find a socket that is as close to the size of the lug nut, but not bigger. Whack it on with a hammer, use a socket wrench (with enough leverage) to remove the lug. Locking nut: Find a socket that is about the same size as the lock nut, follow steps above. **This only works with the star shaped lock nuts and the ones that "key" goes into.
I believe the size is the measurement from any of the flat sides of the lug nut across to a flat side directly across from it. So to make it easy to measure, just remove one, and I assume it would be measured as metric. An easier way would be what size metric socket fits the lug nuts? That would be the nut size.
