nut size?
I'm going to install the 4:10's I purchased from wheelsup and need to know what size the rear hub bearing nut socket is. And if there are any other odd or over sized bolts involved in this operation.

If you mean the large 36 mm nut at the end of the axle (wheel side) You dont need to remove it to pull rear out. You can remove the halfshaft u-joints at the diff and let them hang after diff is dropped. Make sure that you tape up the u-joint caps so they don't fall off while the diff is out. Hope this helps.

If you don't have access to the tool It is possible to unbolt the other end but this is a pain in the a**. The toll is sold as a front wheel drive socket from kd and similar tool companies. It is made to fit a haf inch drive ratchet. Not a lot of money and easy to get. Buy a decent one because the torque is 150 to 200 ft lbs. You dont want to crack a socket with this kind of oomph. My KD has been fine.
