Rear axle socket

[Shadrach]

What size socket do I need to take the rear hubs off my AAM? I have ones for a Dana 60 & 70 but not an AAM. Is it a tanged socket like the old front hubs? David

It can be done without the tool

I have this tools for my Dynatrac hubs and was trying to figure out if I could use it on the rear axle as well. http://www.amazon.ca/OTC-7090A-Locknut-Socket-Wrench/dp/B0002STRTA Is this the same size as a 8954 Miller? The Miller has round pins and the OTC has square pins. David

The Dana tool is quite a bit different The correct tool makes it nice when you have to do them all the time but. The nut does not go on tight or come off hard

To seat the bearings correctly you need quite a little torque, after seating it goes light and easy.
