Anyone know off hand what size socket is required to remove the drive axle hub nut on a 2001 Neon?

 

Somewhere around 26MM I think. Can't remember the exact size.

 

32mm axle nut socket

 

Must be different on the 00-02's then (I do not have a socket that big, but got mine off with the correct size one), or I'm thinking of the wrong thing.

 

32mm sounds about right, I think I only have a 30mm so will have to pick one up.

Thanks

 

32mm axle nut for the front. 30mm for the rear.

 

Thanks guys the front axel nut is 32mm. and back is 30mm.

I did one front wheel bearing. both rotors and pads plus added grease nipples to the ball joints.

Another point is the ball joint grease nipples "ZERK" fittings are 1/4" x 28 taper thread, 6mm screw in but won't tighten. NOTE: if you add these do not over grease one or two shots every 5000-10000km is lots.

To do the bearing, I picked up a 12 ton press at Princess Auto on sale for $129.00CDN, I would have paid more that that in shop labor.

 

The deep socket size to remove axle nut in the rear is a 30 mm. I know for sure because I literally just got done doing one
