axle nut socket

[jimm1009]

Does anyone know what size socket is needed for the M105A1 wheel bearing retaining nuts?
Could we be so lucky that it is the same socket for the Deuce (3 inches)?

The TM give a part number but no size.

Its bigger! 3 1/8 comes to mind but smarter folk will answer.

Hammer and chisel will work to break it loose. Wayne

I posted bad information here about an hour ago and am now correcting it.

The wheel bearing retaining nut is an 8 point 3 3/8 inch on the M105A1 trailer axle.

I ran to NAPA and purchased an OTC-1924 socket.
NAPA p/n is LEL L1924 for 35.48 plus tax. A little steep but when you got to have it, you-got-to-have-it.
Sorry about the temporary "mis-information".
I have the socket and one nut off already and it works very well.

Have a good weekend fellow MV brothers and sisters.

Be safe out there and think O.D. Green!!!
