Can anyone tell me what size socket fits the wheel bearing nuts on a 1981 MCI?

Steve as with all nuts just measure from side to side through the center of the nut and you have the size o wrench that you need.

Howdy Steve.......Just to add to mels advice, note that typical lock nuts are either 6 OR 8 sided and may have pointed corners or rounded corners.....the axle nut sockets are pretty reasonable so just take the nut with you and fit it up keeping the above in mind.......leave any chisels in the box for proper use (I'm sure you know this :-)
