    what's the front hub nut size??

    hey guys,
    like the title says, does anyone know what size socket to take the front hub off?

    i was going to do the bearing but i didnt have a socket big enough so im just going to go and buy it.

    thanks, Victor.

      Actually I believe its a 32mm.

      I could be wrong though. I may be getting mixed up with the rear bearing nut

          If you don't know, don't post the WRONG info- it just creates more confusion as people search the forums for answers.

          Rear is 30mm, front is 36mm.

              Just because I feel like an asshole, I went and checked the front.

                Buy spare nuts, then go find a socket that fits em. ;)

                    lol, how many people don't know yet.

                    Front is 36mm, rear is 30mm

                    I had to shave down both sockets to fit into hub.

                      my thin wall Snap-On sockets worked great
