Does Anyone Know What Size Socket I Need To Remove The Front Wheel " Axle To Hub Retaining Nut " On A 97 Lesabre????


Thank You

I'm not sure the size but I do remember that when I did this, I was able to borrow one for free from "Canadian Tire" . I think it may be considered a specialty tool.

Shoul dbe able to get with a pair of channel locks, it shouldn't be on tight at all.

36mm

:yikes: Dylan, you must have vice grip hands just to be using channel locks. :p


:lol:

You know what, I really, really need to retire, I was thinking wheel bearing lock nut. :(

Yeah, 100 ft lbs might be a little hard for most with channel locks, but not for me :icon16:

I Tried A 36 Mm.....and The Socket Was Definately Too Big.

If I Had To Guess I Would Say 33 Or 34 Mm...........i'm Hoping Someone
Out There Knows . Just For Clarification......this Is The Nut That
Is Exposed When You Pop Off The Lug Nut Cap On The Alloy Wheels.
Also I Did Find The Specs On The Torque For This Nut ...107 Ft/lbs

Thanks

According to my documentation the other possibility is 34mm since it is not 36mm. The axle nut is what holds the axle shaft (spindle part) into the hub/bearing assembly. Published torque spec is 107 ft-lbs.
