i forgot the socket size. but get a block of wood to help support the end of the breaker bar. i needed this cause i had an extension on the socket. but if you have a deep socket you should be ok.

if it is the same as the rear then it is 32mm

What year is your car again??

It's either a 32mm or 36mm deep socket.....can't recall the exact size...S14's use both 32 & 36...can't remember if the S13 is the same way...

Yeah...sometimes the back portion of the hub will freeze to the front spindle. If it does then you might have to replace the entire spindle arm along with the hub. Easy to do, just a PITA!!!...

Anyhow, hope this helps....good luck!!

once you break the nut, leave the nut on with a couple of threads before you start yanking on it
