- 03 Eddie Bauer
Hello everybody. I need to replace the front driver side axle on my 03 Eddie Bauer. I got a new axle at Advance Auto Parts, more on this in a minute. I bought a 32mm socket as I had seen in several places that was the correct size for the spindle nut. Well, it is the correct size for the spindle nut on the new axle but it's much bigger than the spindle nut that's currently on the truck. Can I install this axle, or will the spindle not go through the hub? Is it normal for a replacement axle to have a different size spindle? For the life of me I can't find a 1 1/4" wrnch around the house to test and see if that's the right size. Thanks in advance for any help.
