Good Morning! Question

Hello Folks,

Getting ready to replace the rear axle seals on my F-250...after pulling the axle out...can someone tell me the socket size of the axle nut? its a 2 wheel drive...I have no noise from the rear end, so I plan on just replacing the seals...is there a torque spec when tightening these or is a snug feel like when you do the fronts?

Thanks guys!
