Anybody know what size socket I need to remove the driveaxle hub bolts from this car? I can see the bolts are considerably larger than the socket I have for my Ford Tauruses, and I would like to eliminate the guess work before I go to carquest to get the proper socket. Unfortunately bringing the car to the store and trying sockets until I get one that fits is not an option, since the car is not running right now. Thanks, Pop ---

If you are referring to the axle nut you might ask the man at the parts counter to look up the replacement nut and note the size. ---
