Bomberjeep Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 So my 89 has a bad wheel bearing and to alleviate having to run to the store to grab the right size socket, I was wondering what the axle nut size is? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboedMJ Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Grab a cheap socket set, then you won't have to run to the store everytime you need a socket. IIRC, it's a 9/16 or 5/8 socket. Metric 14 or 15 mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboedMJ Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Unless you are talking about the lug nuts, then you want 3/4 or 13/16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSch88L Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 More details would help... Front axle nut, I'm pretty sure it's a 36mm on a 4x4. Otherwise the front bearing is held in by three 12-points bolts, something like 13 or 14mm, can't remember which... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberjeep Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Sorry. I’m talking about the nut that holds the axle into the wheel bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I’ve picked up two sockets for doing this over the years. One is 36mm and the other is 1-/38”, which is pretty close to 35mm, so 36mm should be close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
