size of nut:"wheel bearing, adusting outer rear nut"

[scubaasteve]

A bit frustrated that I couldn't the size of the so called "wheel bearing adjusting outer rear nut" in one of my TM or by searching this forum. Surely this is a common question.


1. What is the size of wrench I need to use for this nut please?

2. Will a regular socket of the correct size work? Can you suggest a source thanks.

2 & 9/16 8 point socket. NAPA and most others have these sockets. I assume you are talking about a WDX - WM300 or M37 vehicle.

What model/year of truck and what axle? Maybe we can help knowing this information.

53 M37 but 2 9/16 worked. NAPA had one a mile from my house.
