axle nut size?

[skunk]

I need to go get a socket to remove the castellated(?) nut off the rear axle. Does anybody know the size?

Thanks

30 mm

Never mind, 30mm is correct.

You will might need an impact to remove the nut

1 3/16” works too.

...and a big old breaker bar...and don’t forget the 10,000lb gorilla.

And if you didn’t know...to keep the hub from turning either:

1) Install two lug nuts and bracing a bar/pipe between them and the ground.

- or -

2) Drill one or two holes through a piece of angle iron and bolt on with the lugs.

It helps to have two people.
