I'm trying to replace an oil seal in my rear axle. What is the darn size of the nut that holds the wheel spindle to the axle??
 
1-7/8"
It's a very thin nut,when picking a socket, find one with very little chamfer at the front edge.
Some have modified sockets by grinding the front face so that a sharp edge is left for more of a fit.

thanks for the info, It was a 1-5/16" for the rear and 1-1/8" for the front. can't believe it took 4 hours to change one oil seal.
