Default Wheel Hub Bearings...again....

Does anyone know the size of the axle nut for a 2007 Impala SS
I need to purchase a socket to get to my hub bearings...
These things go once a year, so I figured I would try it myself this time

Procedure states 36mm..sounds about right?
Can anyone verify 100 ft-lbs

Thank you
Scott

Sounds about right, I forget if it's 34mm or 36mm... I've replaced my hub twice.

And, seconded on 100 ft-lb being lugs. I think we went 120 or so on the axle nut.

Damn these hubs...my brake pads last long than these things..


cool! Thanks everybody for the feedback. 100 ft-lbs on the axle nut seemed a bit light!

My problem was the bolts backing out, loc-tited and all, snapped the sensor's wires and it was done.
