Socket size

newbie8nowner · May 5, 2018

Getting ready to pull the axle on my 8n, and making sure I have the right tools before I start. Turns out I need a socket to fit the bolt on the end of the axle. Can any help me with the size or let me know if it takes a special made one. Thanks in advance

2 inch 6 point 3/4” drive
I use a 3/4” Drive solid handle the type that slides through the center piece and you will need at least a 5 foot cheater pipe. I don’t remember the torque but maybe 245 foot pounds.

maybe" 245, or 45, or 25, or 'really 450'.

2 inch. 450 ft/lbs for torque when tightening.
I use an impact wrench to take them off.
Make sure you have removed the wire keeper first if you
have the original style. Loosen, but do not remove, the
outer lock nut if you have the replacement style nut.

Regarding the rear axle nut locking wire, are there several holes for the locking wire so it can be adjusted?
Thanks,
Don
