Hi all,

Been looking all day and everywhere to find the sizes to my axle nuts (front and back)for my 06' Eddie Bauer but cant seem to find them. I've seen 2 post where they said they used a 30mm, 32mm, and 36mm, so which is correct? Buying an impact wrench today and nut, I just need to know the size. Thanks for the view and help!
 






front is a 32mm I just finished doing a front wheel bearing not but 30 minutes ago.....
Torque Specs-
Hub and bearing 15mm bolts- 90ft lbs
Caliper bracket- 125ft lbs
Axle Nut- 185ft lbs
Lug Nuts- 100ft lbs

I was going to just buy the 32mm from harbor freight for $5 but decided in getting the whole mm set for $25, good thing too because the caliper bracket is larger than the sockets in my tool kit... I think it was like 21mm

I did a swap on a 04 trailblazer and it needed a 35mm so it just happens that I now have that one...

I believe the rears are 35mm do not know the torque spec but since they are so dang hard for a normal person with out a press and tons of tools I hope mine never go bad
