I wanted to know the size of the socket for removing the wheel hub, I plan on get new wheel bearings. Will I also need a torx 50 socket? :?:

If anyone can provide me with as much info for changing this thanks...

A Torx T-50 bit (i.e. a bit, not a socket) is the usual size for removing GM front caliper bolts, so yes, you'll need a T-50. I think you can buy that individual size in a 3/8" socket from the MotorMite "HELP!" line of parts, or just go to Sears, etc.

I think he might be referring to the size socket for the hub nut, dont know for sure but others (FWD) I have worked on were 38 mm. I'm sure someone could chime in and help you out on this one for sure.

I assume he was referring to both the caliper bolts and the hub nut. A T-50 Torx _is_ the right size for the caliper bolts, but like you said, the hub nut takes something much larger. I recently came across a specialty socket for exactly that purpose in the J.C. Whitney catalog, so you can probably get that socket over-the-counter at an auto parts store as well.

Is it a Torx? Or just a noral Allen wreench like the Astro I was working on Wednesday?

My '92 caliper bolts are Allen head.

If the axle nut socket is what you are looking for, My 1997 uses a 34mm. I'm not sure about the other years.

whay ever u done the socket sizes are all metric the caliper bolts are 13mm and the rotors come off with the caliper?

34mm is correct for my hubs, and my calipers are also hex, not Torx. I'll be doing THAT again tomorrow. Time to have the old faithful RSM'* turned.

sorry diregard my post i was thinkin bout somethin else
