The wheel nuts or the big nut in the centre that holds the driveshaft.

36mm and It needs to be a 3/4 drive as a torque wrench that goes to 420nm also is 3/4. Also a deep socket or it hits the end of the driveshaft if it's shallow

Doesn't it vary depending whether is is FWD/RWD and whether it is front or rear hubs?

It's 36mm if it's fwd front hub. I'm sure if it's a Rwd on the front hub then the dummy shaft doesn't need removed so no need to remove thd big nut to change the discs.

no mention of discs though... Might be doing the rear wheel bearings?

If it's a 280 FWD with discs all round, All hub nuts are 36mm
If it has drums on the back there are no centre nuts.
If it's a 350 (or other) RWD, the dummy shaft nut is still 36mm.

There will be a hub nut on the back... What stops the hub falling out?

If it's a 350 single wheel and has drum brakes the hub is secured by a ring of 14mm bolts which also retains the brake backplate, the bolts are accessed by removing the halfshaft.

What's the 65mm nut behind the half shaft then?
