Shim it using a coke can by cutting a thin strip, Imperial no good 28 and 30 only.

I use a 29mm socket. It's definitely not 30mm. Try measuring the nut ;)

6 sided socket be better it wont round off the bolthead. All else fails a shifter or coal chisel and hammer but get a new bolt first.

If that is a tight fit at 28.5 then 28.575 will not go on.

?? Reread what you just posted and get back to us on it.
1 1/8 socket is BIGGER than the 28.5 mm diff plug.
.075mm to be exact. It WILL go on.;)
