on a 1999 4.4 Grand Am. I got a code on front left sensor and I need to replace the hub. Just wondering if anyone knew the socket size. I will probally have to buy a new socket seeing that none of my other sockets are that big.

I just assumed that since so many others on here have had to replace a hub that someone might rember what size socket it was so I can buy ONE socket that is the right size. You don't have to be a jerk! If you didn't like the question don't respond.

Sorry my friend did'nt mean to get ya in a whirl. My bad and I apologize. Guess I had to many tools in my hands at work last night. Just was looking to motivate ya. There have been times when I had to guess at sizes and I know its not fun bringing the same socket back 3 times. Been there. Also ate a bad Gyro yesterday !! I have 2 GAs so I have twice the problems. Peace brother.

36 MM is the size. The new hub came with a new bolt because of a TSB. Took the new bolt to Sears and $7.00 later I am ready to go...
