Front axle nut

Post by toyznstuff »

Anybody know the OD for the front axle nut? I need to get the right size wrench to remove it. the cotter pin broke & the nut has moved slightly & making a noise. Help!

36mm. Your noise is probably not going to be fixed by adjusting the nut. Might want to check your wheel bearing.

i agree with keith, you'll need a hydraulic press to do the job yourself. I had to torch one a bit just to get it out.
