Help! I can't find a spindle nut wrench to be able to get my front rotors off. Does anyone know where I can get the part. Of course, the dealer has "no idea where it can be found and we don't have it here." So now my 2004 Frontier is up on jacks and I'm stuck looking for a tool so I can get my brakes working again.

srein1;

A lot of parts stores have them. I've never had a Nissan apart. My Jeep Wagoneer uses the same one as a Ford.

Have a good one while you can still laugh about it.. Don S..

Would it screw up the minds of the anti-gun liberals like Obama & Biden if

Forty-nine caliber sniper rifles were manufactured?

tried advance, napa, autozone - they have sockets but none of them fit. They don't have the adjustable wheel bearing locknut wrench. I saw a locknut wrench set online at Chain Auto Tools (www.chain-auto-tools.com/under_car_tools/AMR849E.htm) but don't know if that would fit.

I have a2001 2wd. It has axle nuts with 2 holes in it instead of a hex nut. Some say you can loosen it with a center punch. I got a socket from autopart.com part #4170. I'm not sure if yours is the same. Book says not to over tighten when you put it back together.
