Need to know size of socket replace the CV joint axle in a 1998 Oldsmobile intrigue?

There isn't one single socket size for replacing a CV axle on a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue. You'll need several. The specific sizes depend on whether you're working on the inner or outer CV joint and which particular part of the process you're at. You'll likely need sockets in both metric and SAE sizes.

To be sure, consult a repair manual specific to your 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue. These manuals will provide detailed instructions and diagrams showing exactly which socket sizes are needed for each step. A Haynes or Chilton manual are readily available.

Without that manual, I can only offer general possibilities, and using the wrong size could damage your vehicle. Expect to need sockets for things like:

* The axle nut: This is often a large size, possibly 30mm or 32mm (metric) but could be something else.

* Various bolts securing the CV joint to the transmission or wheel hub: These will likely be smaller than the axle nut, ranging from 10mm to 19mm (metric) but could be different again.

In short: Get a repair manual before attempting this repair. Trying to guess the socket sizes is risky and could lead to stripped bolts or other damage.
