 Help!
 
 Anybody know the socket size for the rear axle
 nut (the BIG one) on a 72 Midget. I want to
 replace the rear wheel bearings, and I hate the
 thought of drifting it off with hammer and chisel.

I'm in the process of "doing it right" courtesy of some of the help I've
recently received here.  As a result, the socket size is 1 7/8 inch-- don't
forget to drift back the lock tab that's surely snugged up against one of the
flats.  Then a properly sized puller should do the trick.
