Just a PSA for anyone having a problem finding that they have a different style wheel bearing nut on their spindle.
There was a several month limited interim production run for the 1996 model and it had a "acorn" type nut and a different spindle. The regular "castle type" socket will not remove the nut.
I spent 3 days trying to figure it out and none of the forums mentioned and none of the 4x4 guys around here knew about it.
The nut requires a 2 1/2 inch socket. The only place I found one was Pep Boys. Other places carried them, just none in stock.
I added a pic of the one I finally used.
