what size is the front axle nut on an 89 dx. im about to replace the wheel bearings on both size but dont have a socket big enough so gotta buy it. also will i need a press to get the old ones out and new ones in?

 

The socket for the axle nut is 32mm.

 

i think you need a press to change bearings....i've never tried personally but if you can get a ride to a local shop i've yet to have anybody charge me to press them in & out

 

thanks i have a press in my garage but just wondering if i need to take the whole knuckle off or just just a socket to knock them out. im having trouble prying the edge of the nut that gets smashed in the notch of the axle. anyone have a good way to do it i cant even get anything underneath to pry it back up

 

just use a flathead and a hammer and knock it back out
