Rear hub nut socket

[RANDYLBARNES]

Can anyone tell me off the top of your head what size socket I need to remove the rear hub on my deuce? Also is it a 6 or 8 point socket?

Is the front hub nut socket the same? Anyone have NAPA part numbers to make it easier for all the rest?

You need a 3" sockect with a torque wench to set the bearing.

Any auto parts chain store should be able to get one. I got mine from O'reileys.
