Sorry it had been a long day (you know it's been a bad day when you ask the wrong question and expect the correct answer) . I am looking for the drive shaft nut size, I have a 32 mm socket and it's bigger than that.

Depends if original or not. Usually 36/37/38mm depending. I'm changing the driveshafts on mine and the new nut is a 36mm 12 point jobbie while the existing nut is a 37mm standard hexagon nut. PITA tbh.
