My front axle

So my new axle came in Wednesday night and I gotta say that thing is friggin sweet! Dana 44 with 5.13 gears, arb locker, chromoly axle shafts *wipes drool off the floor.* I started tearing out the front axle last night and hit a snag. Apparently you have to have a huge socket to remove the axle nut from the axle shaft in order to remove the unit bearing. I did something stupid and guesstimated the size i would need...about 33mm. I drove up to autozone and bought one and then looked up the size i would need. Turns out I was off by 3mm (in other words i need a 36mm socket). So now i have to go back, return the useless socket i have and get the right one. what a pain in the butt. Gonna go back after school and hopefully be able to completely remove the busted Dana 30 and maybe even have the new D44 in tonight.
