M211 axle nut socket size

[firefox]

Hi All, I have to pull the brake drum and change out my wheel cylinders tomorrow night
What size socket do I need to loosen up the two nuts that keep the bearing in place on the axle? Any other gotchas? This is my first time on a M211.

Thanks! That seems to be the way everyone does it, so I will have to learn.
Thanks a bunch!!!

Bingo!!! I have one. I was hoping that it would be the same size as my M390C trailer
and it is.
Thanks!!!
I am off to read the manual and figure out how to make the cork seals.
