Rear drum brake nut
I went to start dismantling the rear end of my bug today only to find out I didn't have a socket big enough. So now I need to order a socket, my
question is what size do I need to order?

Any more tips on getting these suckers off. My half inch drive breaker bar isn't looking so straight anymore.

With the potential of having to but 3/4 drive gear not particularly appealing, I ended up paying the local mechanic 20 bucks to come over and sort it.
Money well spent I reckon.
Onto the next stage.....

Don't forget to tighten them up to the required torque, or the drums won't last long.
