It's a "four lug socket", if you work on lots of 4x4's buy one. You can rent one also but is more costly in the long run doing it that way, one doesn't cost that much. You can get the full set for under 70 from JCW.

nope auto hubs don't have the style nut which takes the four prong tool.

On auto hubs you don't have spindle nuts, you just have a wheel retainer:

Get the tool that 96onefifty mentioned in post #2

Oh hell sorry about that, never had the auto hubs off my "95". Rarely if ever put it in four wheel so it's unused and has never been apart. Guess I just assumed they where the same. As usual gotta have 16 different tools to do the same job!
I have a few of them, guess I have another one to buy when I take it apart.
Had the manual hubs on my other trucks, and other's trucks apart many times, but they get a lot of use.
Well I guess there is another reason I don't really care for the "auto hubs"...
