What hub? It takes a 10mm to remove the dial assembly on the locking hub, a 12 mm to remove the hub body istelf, a 54mm to remove the bearing hub, a 14mm to remove the spindle and a 17 to remove the bearing cap/steering arm to get the knuckle off. The diff is removed with a 12mm and the pinion flange is removed by a 32mm(?) socket.

if your diff is leaking oil because you need to replace de seal, just remove the bottom cap and remove all at once.

I never had a 32mm socket must have used 1 1/4" one

He needs the 54 mm socket to get the bearing nuts off.

I had to read the entire thread 2x...his axle is leaking, not the diff. If it was the diff, then I would have told him it was probably due to a dented inner lip from the ring gear...oh well...

pinion nut is 30mm I thought.

Back to the subject, Mile Marker had a cheap, thin hub socket; it was included in a hub kit I bought a while back. It is better than the one from Sears because the edge of the (Sears) socket is rounded whereas the Mile Marker socket has a squared-off edge.

I got mine from either Reibes or Kragen for $20.
