What size socket for rear axle nut (bearing replacement)

**poopoopeepee** · 07-05-2013

... Or is there one on the rear? For fronts I see people mention different sizes like 32.33,35mm sockets.... What is it for sure. Car is a 2007 GT

Stock is a 33 but all after market ones CV shafts have a 35. Or at least all the ones I bought

Thanks my front bearings are fine. It's just the rear passenger side....

no axle nuts on the rear hubs, take the tire off, the brakes, and un bolt it, dont over look the abs plug.

Yeah you have to beat on them for a hot minute and they will come out.
