the hub nuts on D1s are that big?

 

Yeah, and I would NEVER use my 12" channel locks. (twice)

this is the one I have and its currently on sale, kind of wish I had bought an actual socket as this is pretty long to remove a thin nut, you have to kind of hold it in place while you turn it so it does not come off. better have some good size extensions or something on hand too since you need something to put leverage on this (I used a 12" extension 5/8 I think)

 

The 54mm six point socket worked ok, but was sloppy (too big), 52mm would probably be right.

I rechecked my source, (another rover forum), they said 54mm.

I hate when that happens.

Why do you need a hub socket?

 

I just repacked & installed new seals

2 1/16" or 53 mm (they're out there, if you can find one that size)

 

I know AB sells them in that size for $15.
