Help with wheel center Hub nut size
 
I will be replacing my front wheel hub sometime next week or so, I've done it before and it's fairly simple, I just need to know if anyone knows what size the center hub nut is?
I lost the socket which I used before so now I don't know what size to get lol
If anyone knows I'd highly appreciate it ;)

Double-checking with the walkthrough that I like it confirms a 36MM

I know the first time I ever did a wheel hub (on a Grand Am), I did not plan ahead. Luckily, i did a free "loan a tool" from the parts store (loaned a BUNCH of large sockets). Now I have the Harbor Frieght Axel Nut Socket Set (VERY nice to have, includes a nice carry case, used it a few times, glad it's in my garage).

Yea sometimes it's nice to have tools u think ur not goin to need, just in case lol
And I hate it when that time comes and I need a certain tool and I don't have it becus I thought I would never need it haha :mad:

My Dad and I pooled together our tools in his garage, and we use our Service Manuals before every job to make sure we have most of the tools, if not we usually add it to our collection.

Just sucks to do work I have to drive to his house lol

FML lol
so i got my hub replacement today, my car is up on stands since im installing my new rotors and getting my wheels painted, i bought the 36mm socket for the hub nut and its too big :confused:
now i have no way of getting another until later when my dad gets home :mad:
im guessing its either a 32mm or 34mm :(
anybody know for sure??

The walkthrough was wrong??? Yikes, I've been giving that to everyone!!!

I found a link on NAIOA that suggests it's a 33mm now :(
