hub nut tool

[flracer]

Need to adjust wheel bearings on my truck.Its an 88 Ranger 4x4 supercab with automatic hubs.Thought i would take off the hubs and clean and repack bearings.Not sure what socket fits the nuts.Can someone tell me what i need to buy (part # etc.)?Thanks for all help!!

I believe that's the correct size.

ask for a socket for a Dana 44 and you'll get the right one, they won't know what a Dana 28 or front Dana 35 are most likely... it'll be a little big but will work just fine

The nuts that are used on auto hubs are different.

Ok ive got the 4 prong tool.Whats the difference in the auto hubs tool?Theres a pik a part close by so will probably convert to manual hubs soon.
Thanks for the help!!!

IIRC the socket that you need for that job is a 2 3/8" socket.

if it's anything like the Dana 35 auto hubs all you need is a magnet for the little key thing and a pair of channel lock pliers to get the nut off after the key is out, I missed the auto hub thing before, sorry about that.

Got everything greased and tightened up.Yes just needed a pair of channel locks.

Going to pik a part next weekend (its 1/2 price fri.&sat.)and get manual hubs.

Is it worth it to swap to manual transfercase?I dont think the auto ones working (lights not working).Just got the truck so still figuring it out.

Manual t/case is much nicer.
