I found out I needed a 17mm, much to my surprise as on my old A8 2.8QS I bought a 19mm specifically for the fronts, and that car was a 2002 model supplied with 20inch rims from factory. Strange?
Anyway, breaker and 17mm hex socket and bolt released with wheel on the ground. lifted with the trusty 'widow maker' and wheels checked for bearing noise and wiggled north to south and east to west. Found the dodgy bearing but not the one my ears thought it was (nearside rear) it was actually offside front!!
There is either something very wrong with my hearing or a shift in the space time continuum, it's nuts. I was convinced (well at first) the sound was coming from the rear.
