Front Hub nut size

tgregg · Mar 6, 2006

What size socket do I need for the front hub not? My 1.25 is too small!!
I had to blow a lug nut off with my cutting torch. PO couldn't get one nut off so just put new pads on one side....duh, it pulled like crazy. Totally rusty so I need to use my impact to back off nut. Then grease and a new stud. New discs and pads and bingo, I'm back in business I hope.

What exactly are you asking? The Nut on the hub is 36mm, and the hex for the calipers is 7mm.

My 89 has right hand threads on both driver and passenger sides.

For now I'm not going to pull the Pass side hub. I need to pull the drivers side to replace the stud I cut off.
