Olds88Cutlass Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Does anyone know what size the front axle nut is on an 88 cutlass? Quote
Canada Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Nearly every GM FWD uses that size.....most part stores have the GM FWD axle nut socket in stock. Quote
gp90se Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 Nearly every GM FWD uses that size.....most part stores have the GM FWD axle nut socket in stock. N/J bodys are 30mm, my s10 blazer and w's are 36 (but a 35mm fits-ish) Quote
z34duck Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 yea you can pick them up at auto zone for like $12 and if you own a w body money well spent you will use it again im sure Quote
jdcutty Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Nearly every GM FWD uses that size.....most part stores have the GM FWD axle nut socket in stock. N/J bodys are 30mm, my s10 blazer and w's are 36 (but a 35mm fits-ish) A 35 would fit better than a 36 but they dont make a 35. Goes right from 34 to 36. Just used one today as a matter of fact, changing my wheel bearing, again. Quote
RJansen658 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 actually, all w-bodies are 35mm... yes they do make 35mm axle nut sockets.... most places don't have them, but some places rent them when you get an entire set. Quote

GutlessSupreme Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 x2 everything I've ever read says 36mm for ours. Quote
Bizzo Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Well I just changed out my passenger side wheel bearing and half shaft and 36mm is what my axle nut used, but maybe some after market ones are 35mm Quote
gp90se Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 the axle nut is a 35mm, but most parts stores dont sell a 35mm socket, a 36mm works fine but it has more play then a properly sized socket should Quote
FordBoy Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Yup when i did both my CV shafts the nuts (haha nuts haha) were "fit" 36 bearly but it got the job done Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 36mm=1.44" 1 7/16"=1.4375" 35mm=1.4" 1 13/32"=1.40625" Now if you can find a 1 13/32" socket..... Quote
R Dubya Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 I have a 1 and 13/32" socket, and it fits better than the 36 mm I've had to borrow before I got that. It's also a 1 inch drive. That set must weigh about 45 lbs. Quote

I've always used a 36mm I took this pic earlier at work to prove that AutoZone sells them Quote
RJansen658 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Hahaha, beat me to this post black... Quote
