2003 Nissian Frontier xe 3.3 (6cy) 2 wd. Wanting to replace the front wheel bearing, but can not get a SOCKET. Went to two parts stores, neither one was able to obtain the socket, and did not have a parts number ( which I queation). Seen a YouTube video, but those numbers came came back as a 4x4 axle. I apparently don't know where to look on the Internet. Needing OTC OR SUNEX number.
Secondly, what is the torque specs and any procedure
to tighten.
Thank you for any advice.

Welcome to our world friend.
IDK has become a default word.
Measure it yourself. It would be a deep socket and maybe specialty tool own too many were a pest to get.
Snap-On will be the answer you'll SH************T at the cost!
If rare just measure it. Google out "Vernier" calipers may find you the hex size? If you have some rare thing it fits something else so right parts folks are in order.
On line is a waste too often these are trades - yes even "parts" a trade lost in space we call progress??

Yes, you need to know what size you are looking for before worrying where to buy it. They are usually anywhere from 30mm to 34mm. You will need a deep, 6 point impact socket and probably a very powerful impact gun. These are normally torqued to nearly 300 ft-lb.

We are all right. Go measure it.
IDK, I just have most of them and quit too much more thought about it.
Tools are this trade. "Can't take the heat, get out of this kitchen!"

Thanks guys, I originally didn't measure thinking that I have to get a socket anyway. Now knowing the size I still can't get a socket, but i do have a 4x4 socket and a grinder.

? What's the grinder for? There should be a cotter pin or another trick to prevent nut from plain coming off by itself.
If you have a chain parts outlet nearby I think most rent the sockets up to you for an impact tool best vs plain force with breaker bars.
Typical is finding bolts on back side any brake parts in the way taken off first. Support caliper don't let it just hang on brake hose. Find a way - wire or rope.
Unless this is frozen stuck or you miss cotter pin if used should come right off whole.
Install in reverse or you removed it, would be high torque should make a sound of it being all the way on via impact wrench. Torque suggested by another tool just for posterity is high IDK the spec right now.
If no snags this should be quick to do the stopper would be hardened bracket bolts if hex is lost to rust or rounded maybe time to send it out it's not worth busting.
Lube any bracket slides if NG those need to go do both sides if so,
Tom
