Is 55mm socket same as 54mm?
Stupid question I know, but I went to Schmucks and they had a 55mm socket for "Toyota Landcruiser and Pickup". It was only $16. Reading about the axle hub nut on here everyone is using a 54mm socket. Are there different sizes for Add and manual hubs? I don't want to get everything torn apart and it not work.

A 55mm will work fine. One millimeter difference is a lot on a 10mm socket, but not so much on a 55mm socket.
Seriously though I think you will be fine, many people use a 36mm on the newer trucks which require a 35mm and I have never seen one strip.
When you take my advice though and it does strip, post pics.

I did that the screwdriver/hammer method on the first round.. 6hrs, not one place in town had any kind of socket big enough.. (at the time i had NO IDEA what size socket was needed).. this was years ago
Ended up finally finding a 2 - 3/16" Craftsmen ... the nuts have a few dents n nicks now but thread on fine. The socket is a bit lose but it works just fine for the axle nuts.
Tore apart a spare hub other day and the PO had used hammer and flat head as well but they really did a number on these nuts, ugh. lol
