Wheel hub bearing replacement 2012 RX350 - HELP WITH AXLE BOLT SIZE NEEDED!


Recommended Posts

Believe I have a bad wheel bearing.  Quiet grinding noise that changes with speed and is not affected by braking (also changed brakes so know they are not the issue).  I have a 30mm and a 32mm socket (both 6-point) but neither will fit over the spindle/axle nut.  The spindle/axle nut is a 12-point nut if that matters.

 

Does anyone know what size socket I need to buy?  TIA

Got the job done!  It required a 12-point, 30mm socket. Took less than an hour.  I wrote a detailed step by step process with some pictures, helpful youtube videos and links to parts RX350 hub bearing replacement.docx
