I know the torx is t-55 can't remember the nut I think its 18mm
bigger then 18mm... 28 maybe? 18mm is the size of stock lug nuts haha
or is it 30? iv been using a 32mm but its still to big..
lugs are 19mm. the axle nut is 30mm, the wheel bearing bolts are a T-55 torx bit (as mentioned).
crank pulley bolt i usually use a 1 1/16" socket. no idea what metric size that would be.
Torque the axle hub nut to 185 ft/lbs when u get it back together.

Oh yeah duh it is 30 lol.
Make sure it is a DEEP WELL 30mm socket for the axle nuts.
I always use a torx 50 on the wheel bearing bolts, I know this since I did mine yesterday. The axle nut is a 30mm DEEP socket. Crank bolt is a 27mm and you will need a pulley puller aswell.
yea i ddint use a puller last time for the pully,
Thanks so much guys!!!
so i need:
30 MM deep socket
T-55 or T-50 Torx
and a 27 mm or 1 1/16" socket
Again Thanks!

I just went to the parts store and bought an axle socket. Came in handy in the future too.
i find it amusing that SHOoff has nothing better to do but follow me around & be an unhelpful dick in even cross-forum. - Jon Mick
it was a 29 mm socket

It's t-55 for the front and a t- 50 for the rear.
