P/N for axle nut socket? Lb7 2500

[wydopenLb7]

Need to change my axle seal. Picked up a 6 spline socket that said it was for gm and it’s too big. OD is 67mm Tried to rent one but it’s 9spline. Anybody know the correct one? Tried to look online and didn’t see much. Thanks.

I've always just used a punch and light tap with a hammer. They aren't that tight. And if you know the feel for how tight to make the bearings you don't actually need to use a torque wrench. Or if reusing them, just count the turns and mark a reference point

Sorry if that doesn't help answer your question

I'm pretty sure this one should work based on another sites recommendation

Thank you I should have tried that.

I have read the performance tool w1270 works. You just have to grind the edges of the points. I bought the tool but have not tried it yet. Its cheap.

Don't remember where it came from as I was not on the parts run, but my 04 LLY uses AmPro T72047.
