Title: rear axel nut
Post by: ripster31 on March 23, 2015, 07:49:12 PM
Sorry guys my kid lost my socket I use to loosen the nut and to torque it back on my rear axel to remove the rear tire. I know its bigger than a 19mm, but can someone tell me what mm is the nut for the rear axel so I can go and buy another socket.  I have tried to find it in the service manual to no avail.  I know its simple but just don't want to buy sockets I don't need.   Thanks for your help in this matter.

27mm., at least for a 3rd gen Magna.

Man if I had a dollar for every. Socket I've lost!

Seriously though, you should have wrenches in your toolkit, if you still have that.
