Socket for 05 rear axle nut?
Hi guys, does anyone know the exact size needed for the 4 hole nut that holds the hub onto the axle assembly on an 05 truck? Tried every socket at oreielys.
2.5 seemed just a biiiit too tight and didnt want to seat 100%.

It's a special socket - here's one on AMAZON:
OTC 6601 Rear Axle Nut Wrench for Ford
Mine was identical but probably Chinese and came from Advance for less then $20 (though may be more now)

As far as price - I bought mine 2 years ago, so $$ today -----not a clue. It has been used at least a half dozen times and shows no wear, so can't be too bad of a clunker tool

pipe wrench wont fit in the little lugs lol
Mister, dont know why it worked on your axle, the 1-9/16 is too thick to work on my 05 axle.
from the PS forum i found this PN availabel at parts stores: Part # 15009-01 by mile marker. equivalent to OTC 6601
