This weekend I am going to pull the wheel bearings (see my other post), check them and grease them. I want to be sure I have the correct socket for the nut on the spindle before I take it apart (catching on in my old age!!!). I couldn't find it in print. Can anyone recall the size? Thanks!

    Thanks, dumb question, I went back, reread the manual and realized that I misread it it.

    I need the size so I can use my torque wrench on reassembly.

      There shouldn't be need for a torque wrench on assembly. I don't think you want to tighten the nut so that there is resistance. Initially tighten the nut so that the rotor starts binding, this is to seat the bearings. Then LOOSEN the nut so that the rotor spins free. Ie. Torque wrench not needed.

    It will not be tight enough to need a socket to remove it.

    Chances are once you get the cotter pin out you can simply remove it with your fingers or if you prefer a pair of adjustable pliers.
