What size socket is needed to take the front wheel nut to the axil for a 2003 Ford Explorer? Thanks

The one that fits!

That's not the way it works. you buy a socket set. It has one set of AF Sockets and one set of Metric sockets. The one you use is the one that fits.

36mm is the consensus of opinion, but in reality, it is the socket that 'FITS'! Most socket sets come in metric and imperial, you use that one that is the best fit.

32mm if you have ABS hub . 30mm for all others. You can rent this socket at any Auto Zone parts store.

measure across the flats of the nut and that will be the nut size
so if the dimension is say 1 inch then the nut will be 1 inch and the socket will be 1 inch or 25 mm
most wheel nuts will be 6 sided so although a multi sided socket (12 points) will fit a six sided socket is better it the nut is tightened to high tension

I'm 99% positive its a 36mm socket.

For a 2002 Escape the hub nut is 32 mm. The torque specification is around 175 ft.-lbs.

There are no "tire bushings". There is a complete front wheel bearing assembly that if bad, will need to be replaced. There are also no lube fittings on any of these assembly's. You need to remove the entire brake assembly, rotors, calipers, and caliper mount just to get to the nut for the front wheel bearing. Then you have to take cotter pin out of the main nut on the end of the axle, and take off the nut locking nut, you will need a 32mm socket, (if memory serves me correctly) to take the axle nut off. Then there will be 3 bolts on the back side of the axle housing that will need to come out, unplug your electronic brake wire, and the wheel bearing should fall right out.

sounds like maybe front drive shaft u-joints or front half shaft axil's worn.

the size of socket ur looking for is 32mm & as for bearing i'm sure that its a complete bearing.
