Do you mean the axle nut or the three torx bolts.

I used a rattle gun with a 36mm impact socket but also had to apply some heat to the passenger side as it was well rusted on.

Also not sure how you plan to get the hub off the axle? The first one I did with a puller as described on another Jeep forum. The second one was much easier and safer. I removed the axle and hub together then used the press and it popped out just like that. The first one was really way too tight for a puller and scary and for a few minutes I thought I was going to have something fly apart.

kindest regards Anthony
