Ok, my front right wheel has started to tick when I turn and now it is doing it when I am going straight also, I am pretty sure it is the bearings so I went and bought new bearings and seals for both sides and just wanted to know what size socket I will need for the castle nut? I don't have a jack anymore so I am going to do it at my cousins house, and he doesn't have any tools so I will have to take my own, so, what size is it, and will I need anything else, like a bearing puller or anything, Thanks.

Good info above. I couldn't have told ya (I use a metric socket because I have those going up above 30 mm).

An inch-pound wrench helps too.

Good luck.

Not a problem I just did mine a couple days ago and had to buy the socket also.
