No you wont - unless its got XE shafts.... The Nova CV joints are quite short/shallow - I have managed hundreds with a trusty 'normal' depth socket.

Halfords sell them for around £6 and are good enough quality

Sorry to hijack your thread.

Once you have undone the nut is the hub/flange pressed into the bearing or can you slide hub of the shaft & out.

Need to swap my hubs over soon & not sure if its a diy job or take to garage?

I just take the hub to a local garage and get them to do the bearings aswell, usually £20 covers it to be done in 10 mins.
