2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dana 80 hub nut size???

[jabird]

Do I need a 2 9/16" socket for the hub nut on my Dana 80. I need to replace the seal this weekend and just want to have the right size socket sitting-ready to go. I not sure I have the right size. Thank you in advance

Just so you know, the nuts don't use a regular socket. You can pick up a socket specifically for them at either Parts America or Autozone. I forget which one I went to.

Yeah most places carry the OTC brand. Pretty much any parts store should have it, so be able to get it. Around $30, so nothing too outrageous.
