Axel nut size
Hey guys I'm about to replace the rear brakes on my 1956 f250. It has a Dana 60 in it and was wondering what size the axel nut is,any tips on taking the drum off?
Thanks

At least it looks like it's hexagonal. Albatross ('55 F500) has octagonal nuts. That definitely takes a special socket. I found a good hard octagonal socket on FleeBay.
It will spill a bit, you can minimize that by slightly "tipping" the axle. Change the seals when you close it up. I greased mine, help to keep from running dry before the lube oil makes it to cover the bearings.
