Hub Nut Size
 

I'm going to replace shoes and drum for a 96 Neon SOHC. Does anybody have the size of the hub nut? I'm going to rent the socket from Auto Zone, and would like to get the right size socket.

Thanks for the help.

You don't need to remove the hub to change out the pads and drum.

OK...cool...you can reach all the springs and everything by just working around it?

yeah al you have to do is pop off the brake drum and its all easily accessable right there

RE: Hub Nut Size
 

But popping off the brake drum can be a real PITA. Make sure you don't have your parking brake on[:@]

RE: Hub Nut Size
 

yeah....and have a big hammer handy;)

RE: Hub Nut Size
 

Ok...now you have me worried....Why is the drum such a PITA to get off?

Try taking anything off that hasn't been before and is put under alot of stress and heat. If may just fall off, who knows.
