Hi Guys,

Yep... I had to get one a little while ago.
However, I have a question for other people that have removed their axle nut. The 30mm worked, but did anyone else notice that it had a little bit of play?
I fitted a 1 1/8" (If I am correct) and it had no play in it. Unfortunately it wasn't deep enough though. The 30mm worked fine. I'm debating picking up a 1 1/8" deep socket b/c I'm afraid of stripping that nut eventually.
either one works, but there is some play in the 30mm, i think because the nut is chamfered on the end

I just bought one assembly 513017K TIMKEN at Autozone. And by the way... 30 MM is to big for the hubnut. I bought both the 30MM Axle nut socket (25203) sold at Autozone, but just from trial fitting with the nut that is included with the Hub assembly and the old nut installed in the car it seems too big and i'm afraid it may round the nut (which seems to be copper).
I also bought the Duralast 1 1/8" deep socket (75-832) at Autozone and it seems like a much better fit. It fits snug. I would use that rather than the 30mm socket, any opinions?
It depends on the year of the car. Some are 28 mm, while others were 30mm.
