s13 Rear Hub Nut Socket Size

[SolaraOnBronze]

I am working on the 5 lug swap and brakes on my 93 240sx hatchback and I do not have a large enough socket to remove the large nut that hols the hub onto the car. I have searched around for about an hour, but havent been able to find the size of the socket required for this nut anywhere. The closest guess I have found is 32mm, but I would like to get confirmation so that it only takes one trip to the store.

I apologize if this has been answered before or asked recently. The front and rear nuts were different sizes, so i was able to remove the front hubs, but not the rear. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I think I found my answer- listed as 36mm in this thread:

Sorry about that, hopefully this will help with further searches.

It's in the post above you, I guess I never posted that i confirmed in real life, but it is indeed a 36mm.

The front and rear are two different sizes. I believe my rear was 32, and front was 36. Hope you have an impact gun. Remember when you are doing the fronts, to clinch your nuts Litttteralllllyyy....Otherwise your wheel might roll by you on the highway
