what size do I need

[crawlin91]

Im converting the auto locking hub garbage to warns.
What size of 4 prong spindle nut tool do I need?
The auto parts store has two sizes 2 1/4, and 2 3/8?

They should be labeled with what axle they will fit. Look for the Dana 35/Dana 44 spindle nut.

Oh. Ya I bought mine from Autozone. They were in the tools section in the customer area, didn't have to talk to anybody.

Yep Autozone had em and they were labeled for what application they would fit.Thanks.

You don't need an auto hub socket, you only need the 4-prong manual one if that's what you're converting to (the auto hub nut will easily come off using Channellocks).

Get the Performance Tool W1269 socket if you can, the others suck.

Yeah I got a autohub socket from Drangerd. I only plan on using it once though(to take these off), as the auto hubs are crap.

Then you will need a manual hub socket to put the manuals on. The auto's don't need a socket, like junkie said, but the manuals you will need to exert over 150ft/lbs of torque onto, so get the good socket like pictured above. Mine has went flying across the room more than once because of only having the ears with no collar.
