XD-DII's have a single non servicable hub, like on a front wheel drive car.

crap... i think we've been over this before...[:@]

Its ok XD. No worries mate.

I called the parts dept at a dealer in Fl and was told it was 36mm by a mechanic... I have a 30mm socket and it is too small to fit over it. I have had misleading and incorrect information from dealers before so i was hoping someone on this forum could tell me. I can find out myself but not until the weekend. =(

Let us know what sized it is so that we may help others.
Sorry we couldnt help you.

Ok it is a 36mm nut.

But now i need to remove and replace the hub. I have removed the hub and of course the drive shaft comes out with it. I need to press the drive shaft out of the hub and press it into the new one.

Has anyone done this before? I think using some type of gear puller might work to pull it out. Any suggestions?

Thanks

The biggest problem is the re-torque of the hub nut, you will need a torque wrench that does 360 lbs ft.

Yeah I figured that would be a challenge... but thats no problem...I have a friend who works on big rigs who might just have the tool needed for that part. Other than that, you think a gear puller will do it? I guess its worth a try!
