I'm trying to change out an alternater on an 86 accord, the only way to get it out is through the bottom, which involves removing the drive axle, to do this I need to remove the rotor, I've got to buy a socket to fit the big nut holding the rotor on, what size do I need to get?

go to autozone they can give u tha right size and u can rent tha tool without having to buy it. they give tha money back when your done with it.

you also need to take the lower ball joint loose from the spindle so you can swing the spindle out of the way and get the axle out.

its either a 30mm or a 32mm good luck

wow that's pretty awful. that alternator on my 81 oldsmobile is right there on top, i can swap it out in less than 5 minutes.
