Rear Axle Nut size needed ASAP

[steve911]

I need to swap out an axle due to a torn boot on my '06 coupe. Can someone tell me what size socket I need to remove the nut at the end of the axle?

I know I dont have the right size and I actually have some time today to work on the car. Lord kn0ows when we will be able to drive them here in WI due to the constant snow.......Spring or no Spring.

thanks

If we are talking about the same thing, the one on my GTS is 1.25” and torqued to 250 ft. lbs. There will be an issue of the hub spinning and I've heard that the parking brake is not a suitable tool for stopping it from spinning. I removed my center cap, left my tire on, and used the friction of the tire to hold it...

Thanks for the info you are correct.
