What socket size do i need for Protege hub?
 

Hi everyone,

I have a 2002 mazda protege 5, While i was doing a brake job on it i noticed that the hub bolt is very large. Actually larger than any socket i currently have. I bought a impact socket set & the largest socket it had was 24mm which was way to small. I dont want to go out and spend a fortune on a impact socket set, so I figure I'll just go buy the individual socket. Does anyone know the size of socket i should buy for the hub? (1 1/8, 1 1/4, 1 1/16, 27mm, 30mm, 32mm.....etc) please feel free to mention any other large sizes that I should pick up just in case in the future, i work on the axle or whatever may come my way.

Thank you

I think your talkin about the axle nut, not the hub. 32mm. Its mazda (jay-pan) there is no standard size nuts or bolts, just metric.

Thanks for the help :)
