Question about axle nut size? S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey folks, off the top of your heads, what size socket would I need to remove the nuts holding the rear axles in place at the hub? Im thinking 30mm. Am I wrong? Your help is appreciated!

I think its 32mm.

Best thing to do would be to search to confirm though. Was over a year ago since I removed 'em for my 5-lug but you can find the answer here. Its been covered before.

Don't forget the cotter pins... unless that's just for the fronts.

36mm for the rear! Thanks folks! Right on for the quick reply. I didn't want to buy all these axle sockets and then have to go back to the store to return some! Thanks again!

if you can't get a 36mm use "1 inch 7/16", might help you guys with imperial stuff.
