To find the correct size:
* Visually inspect the nut: This is the easiest way. Use a socket wrench to find a socket that fits perfectly.
* Check a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your specific 1989 S10 Blazer will list the axle nut size.
* Consult a parts store: Take your vehicle's information (VIN number is ideal) to an auto parts store, and they can look up the correct size for you. They may even have a socket that fits to verify.
Don't guess! Using the wrong size socket can damage the nut or your tools. Always ensure you have the correct size before attempting to remove or install the axle nut.
