Quick help! Please - nut size for wheel bearing

Working to regrease front wheel bearings on my 67 MGB GT.

What size socket do I need for the nut?!?

Sears here I come...


Thanks!

I believe it is a 1-5/16" nut. At least that is what is on the WW hubs I have. I could not find one at sears other than a deep well for like $40 so I went all over creation and wound up with a 33(?)mm socket from Pep Boys. ($14). Double check the size first.

It was the biggest in the standard Sears set, 1 1/16" I think. It has been a year since I had it off.

You need 1 1/8 for the front nut and 1 1/5/16 to remove the nut on the rear hub.
Important note. On wirw wheel rear hubs you need a thin wall socket, which can be hard to find. Impact sockets tend to be too thick to fit inside the hub.

to get thin wall you may need to get el-super-cheapo Chinese set. I bought a 1" drive set for $30 with sockets that work real well for this<G>
