What size is the axle nut in mm ?

I striped out everything in my suspension today and didn't have the right socket so I took everything apart leaving the axle still in the knuckle.
Now it time to get it out so I can start loading up my stuff.

Impact will take it off as long as its a good one and you have a big compressor. Its on there tight.

when u put the nut back on, the axle has a groove. and with a screw drive and hammer u hit the nut on the lip where the groove it. prevents the nut from coming off

you could use your spare tire (spare tire has axle nut visible), bolt it in, take a breaker arm, use 36mm, and drive forward until breaker arm hits the floor and loosens the axle nut.... drive slow like 1mph slow!!!
