I've seen all the bulletins for the hub bearing units, and participated in the ones for the rear which I had recently done. Anual inspection has turned up that one of my fronts is just starting to let go. I was sorely unprepared tool-wise for the rear job, so I wanna be set for the front. I have bearings, new seals and caliper bolts on order. What socket do I need for the axle bolt? Caliper bolts? Same size bolts hold on the front as do the rears? Thanks in advance!!
Aaahhh sooo. Little grasshopper yields to infinite wisdom of much wiser wrenchers!!
My brother paid something like 13 bucks for that size socket and another 7 bucks for the Torx bit when he did his. I think he said the Torx bit is a T55 or something around that size.
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?
And yes, the Bots holding the hub assembly are T55
