Hi Guys,
I'm redoing the front brakes on my TC and well I'm realizing I don't have the right size socket to take the axle nut off to do the rotors. I did a search on here but I couldn't find the size. Does anyone happen to know what size socket I need to buy? Also, the torque spec for the nut would be nice to know as well.

Thanks,
Andrew

big pair of channel locks. they're not on very tight...

i usually snug up the bearing with the nut and lock it in place with a cotter pin. i'm sure there is a spec on it somewhere but nobody uses it that i know...
