Axle Bearing Socket Size

I've go a noisy bearing on my rear Dana 60 full floating axle. Anyone know the socket size I need to remove the spindle? I think it might be 2 9/16 but not sure. Any tips?

Re: Axle Bearing Socket Size

Here is a good brand socket.

This type of socket is the best for axle nuts.
Once you can verify the correct size.

Link below:vvvv: There are some a few dollars cheaper. OTC is a good brand.

Measure the nut flat to flat across the nut...

It should have six flats if its 2 9/16"

I ordered a 2 6/16" socket, just got it. I'll let you all know when I work on it. Hopefully early next week as I'm off the entire week of Thanksgiving.
