I don't have a socket to fit the rear hub nut on my 74 GT Coupe (Rostyle wheels). need to get it off to investigate movement at the hub.

The local factors is open for a couple of hours today but I don't know what size socket I need. Anyone got the answer to hand now?

Thanks

Steve

I just went through the same thing. By happy coincidence, I found that the same socket will fit on the crankshaft pulley bolt head, and with a breaker bar comes in very handy for positioning the valves for adjustment. Love it when a tool works for more than one thing.
