what size is your nuts?
LoL, can someone give me the size of nuts holding the 90 AWD front axle shafts and bearings in place? Needs to be metric obviously, have every standard size up to 2". My guess would be maybe a 38mm. Any one with an answer would be helpful in me buying the right one tonight and not need to make a 75km return for stupidity. Thanks for your timely response.
Re: what size is your nuts?
Usually GM uses 36mm on those front hub nuts, that's what my 95 & 97 Blazers used. And I remember some people on here using the S10 axle shafts too so probably right. Go to Autozone and see if you can rent one, I believe they rent the socket for the front axles. I found out they rented them after I bought one

Thanks Blazer, your probably right on the button with 36mm. We no have Autozone in Canaduh and the local parts depot for napa didn't have such a size available today. Good old black cloud following me every move. LOLBLAZER wrote:Usually GM uses 36mm on those front hub nuts, that's what my 95 & 97 Blazers used.

Playing with Grumpy recently, I can say it's definitely 36mm.

Re: what size is your nuts?
Thanks everyone for confirming this size for me. Now will need to order one in for today, $25 bucks @ LOrdco, just a lil closer than Crappy Tire for me.
