Default Help - Need hub nut size
Does anyone happen to know the size of the nut on the hub that holds the brake rotor on to the axle? Chevy dealer can't tell me and I need to know which size socket to get so I can get the front & rear rotors changed out. If there are any others on there that I can't see I'd need those sizes as well.

Thanks.

I think it's either 33mm or 34mm. Torque is 115 to 118...I give this figure because I think on the c6 which uses the same nut they increased the torque spec. I tightened mine to 118

That's it, thank you. Looks like I'm going to need a bigger torque wrench too.

You don't have to take off the hub nut to change the rotors

Yes, I see that now, thus the comment:

At any rate, it's well over 100 degrees already so this job is going to be put off until tomorrow.
