LostWater Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Doing the bearing job today. Don't have the proper socket for the rear axle nut. Is it a 32mm or 33mm? Also, how in the hell does one "unstake" (SOA word) the axle nut? It looks as if it is crimped on. Thanks for any and all help. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how in the hell does one "unstake" (SOA word) the axle nut? It looks as if it is crimped on. Thanks for any and all help. Mark It is 32mm on my 97 OBW 2.5 auto. It is also 32mm on my 96 2.2 5 speed and 93 Legacy L AWD 2.2 5 speed. Suffice it to say I would just about bet the farm your's is 32mm too. I just take a punch and tap the "bent in" part out a little er, I mean "unstake" the "staked" part. It seems to bend out with a couple of taps.
