Axle nut socket
What would the size socket be for the rear axle nut on a 76 c750 with the 17,500 lb Rockwell/Timken rear axle?
Getting ready to order stuff so I can dig into the rear brakes and am gonna need the socket to get the rear drums off.
Haven't been able to find any definite info on the subject so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks to you all.

Your pretty much going have to pull the axle to measure the nut, a truck parts supplier should have a sheet metal socket you’ll need, it’ll be 3/4” drive so you’ll need an adapter if you don’t have 3/4” drive tools
You’ll likely find chisel marks on the outer nut were that method has been used in the past, I’ve done it in the past when I didn’t have the correct socket and it was a 2 hour round trip to the truck parts store to get a socket plus another trip for the parts
