I've ordered new tires from Desser and am preparing to put them on. My question is, does anyone on the forum know the size of the wheel bearing nut so that I can buy the correct wrench?

Thanks,

It is a large castellated nut with a cotter pin. It should be just snug to slip the cotter pin thru but not tight. A large adjustable wrench with long jaws works fine. It cannot loosen and tightening it will crush the bearings

Paul,
Thanks for the information. I was aware of the construction of the system, what I was trying to find out is the dimension of the castellated nut. It appears to be over an inch is size and I would like to buy the correct size wrench so that I don't damage it with an adjustable one.

Thanks,

Larry
