4 Wheel Drive/SUVs: WHEEL NUT SIZE, torque settings, auto parts stores

Question
I have a 98 Bravada. I need to grease the bearings. I dont have a socket large enough for the nut holding on the hub. Can you tell what size socket I need to remove the nut. The largest I have is a 30mm.

Answer
Bob,

I don't have any specifications for the Bravada, but you can purchase a manufacturer's shop manual for it from a dealer.  They are quite expensive, normally costing, around $100.  

A Chilton's or a Hayne's manual would be a better buy, as they can be purchased at most auto parts stores for $20.  They have a lot of information on basic trouble shooting, and repairs, including nut sizes along with torque settings.  These manuals are designed for a year or range of years for specific vehicles, and are invaluable if you are planning on doing any repairs, or maintenance yourself.
