auto locking hub socket?

[stillblazed]

i broke a front axel on my bronco 2 i was wondering if theres a socket to pull the hub apart if so where can i get it. or do anyone know any tricks to get it apart without the tool thank you

you shouldn't need a socket on auto hubs only manual ones. i just used a magnet to pull the little key out of the space in the nut. i used a pair of channel locks to get the nut loose. hope this helps check out a Chilton manual
