Rear Axle Bearing Nut Size??
I have a 99 with the Dana 70. Does anyone know what size socket the bearing nut requires and where I can get one?

It is 2 9/16". I just bought one 3 days ago from my local Snap-On truck. It was Blue Point brand. $25.

Thanks! Will a regular 12 point 3/4 drive socket work? Or do I need the special one?

Not sure but I think a regular socket will be too thick and will not fit inside of the hub.
