Default Rear Axle Nut Size / 04 RX330
Does anyone know the axle nut size for the rear of 04 RX330? Need to replace bearing/hub assembly and want to make sure I have right tools prior to tackling the job.

Thank you

yes you will need a 32mm deep well going to be hard to find but a 12 point will do the trick

Why 12 point? A 6 point is less likely to damage.

Harbor Freight carries 32mm deep well sockets if you have one in your area.
