Hey everyone,
First post in the Dodge forum. I have a '96 4x4 3/4 ton HD that I use to tow my Commanche to the trails and for work. I'm getting some leaking out of both rear hub seals. Its already ruined the brake shoes. My problem is the adjusting nut that holds the D70 hub on. Does anyone know what size that big a$$ nut is and where can I find a socket for it? None of the local 4x4 truck gurus have one or know what size it is. I don't want to knock it loose with a chisel and not be able to put it back on with the right torque. search turned up nothing. Thanks in advance..

There are two different sockets......

one has rounded corners and the other has "squared" corners
