Socket Size to Remove Nuts on Axle Bearings?

I just call them wheel bearing sockets. Can't really tell you what size though. They vary by axle manufacturer and model.

 

Mine is a 4 inch one on my truck . I think was about 30 bucks . I carry it in my side box just in case .

 

Should be able to buy the socket(s) just about anywhere that sells tools. Pretty common item.

 

Any truck parts house usually has a board up on the wall with a good selection of axel nut sockets.
If all else fails you could do it the old school way with a hammer and a chisel.
Not really recommend though lol

 

I think I got mine off Amazon if I remember right . Like others said any parts place or dealer should have them

 

Just use a hammer and chisel to take them off, the shouldn't be that tight. Then take em into any decent truck parts house and get the right sized socket

 

If you have a Harbor Freight near you you can get digital calipers for like 15 or $20. The calipers will tell you what size the nut is. If you do not already have a set, they are a handy tool to have

The transaxle store near me is pretty good on their prices for those sockets, but anywhere that sells heavy duty truck parts should have them, like FleetPride or Truckpro or whoever you deal with.

It's better to have the right size socket than use a chisel. You need the right size socket anyway because you have to torque them in and then check your play with a dial indicator.
