It's going to depend on what's inside you axle. Have you removed the cover to take a look? It can be any one of these:
Four prong internal tooth OTC , 205-192 Wheel Hub Nut Socket - T83T-1197-B
2-1/2" Rounded Hex OTC , 519097-5 Wheel Bearing Locknut Socket T95T-1197-A 2-1/2" Rounded Hex
2-3/4" Rounded Hex OTC , 519097-4 Wheel Bearing Locknut Socket T95T-1197-B - 2-3/4" Rounded Hex

2-1/2" Rounded Hex OTC , 519097-5 Wheel Bearing Locknut Socket T95T-1197-A 2-1/2" Rounded Hex

Now, how come you dont see the second and 3rd link ones at the store?
Or instead of making it a socket, they are doing the teeth/prong method to grab the sides?
I was looking for ones like the second 2 links there.

William, without a doubt mine uses the 3rd link Jim posted. Truck in my sig w/ D50. It can be had at any auto parts store. Look for the rounded hex spindle sockets. Should say 2 3/4" 6R.

thanks Jim and Jacob.
I think i'll just pay the 60 for the rental cost, and buy the correct socket when i'm done.

Auto hubs use the 2 3/4" hex socket and manual hubs use the "four prong internal tooth" socket. I've had both sockets and they only cost about $20 each at Autozone.

Then you need the four prong socket. There will be a lock nut, lock washer, and retaining nut. If you have a chiltons manual it will tell you how to torque the nuts.

Just a heads up. The 95 parts truck I had with Warn manual hubs on te D50 used the same 2 3/4" rounded hex head socket. Had the exact same nut as my auto hubs. Doesn't mean it was correct but that's what was in there.
