Yeah, 33mm nut on the axle but that won't get the hub off. Its held on from the rear by three torx bolts. I think they were T55 but please don't hold me to it.

Yup... mine were T55. Don't use power/pneumatic tools to remove these, they strip easily. Get a torx socket and hit them with a little PB Blaster if they are tough to get loose.
