Quick Help: Nut Size for 96 Runner Hub Nut?
I'm doing a rotor install for a Toyota 4Runner (1996) and need to know the size of the hub nut right below the dust cover. Anyone, please let me know asap!
This is for someone on another board so TIA

Pull off the dust cover and measure it. If it's close to one or the other, it's that one. The 36mm one is about the size of a half dollar coin, the other one is considerably larger.
Were it a Tacoma of that year, it would be a 36mm, but since it's a 4Runner, while I suspect it's still a 36mm, I can't say for certain. The differences between 4Runner's and Tacoma's catch me off balance from time to time.

Thanks! I use a few photos from that series as the main images on my web site. I was fortunate to have several photographers in good positions when I went through that stretch

A year or so ago there was a thread on the TTORA board where 100 or so members chimed in with their findings and the consensus seemed to be that the nut was really something like a 35.5mm. A 36mm works as will a sloppy 35mm socket in some cases.
In looking in the shop manual, Toyota refers to the nut at the "axle lock nut" and lists the torque setting at 174 ft/lbs for it, but of course, they do not specify it's size
Yet another of those Toyota quirks we know and love

My 36 mm socket was too sloppy and a 34 mm would just barely fit the end of the nut, I finally had to go out and purchase a 35 mm socket and it fit perfectly. Ironically the nut is kinda of tapered, but I didn't like the sloppiness of the 36 mm, considering the torque requirements.
