Does anyone know what socket I need to remove this inner nut from a UD 60 hub. I’ve seen another post on the JL forums that gives a step-by-step for a wheel bearing replacement/maintenance but that axle had a regular hex nut. Mine is obviously different. It looks like something four prong fits in there.

Well, searching for "dana spicer ultimate dana 60 locknut socket" finds this:

https://www.danaaftermarket.com/spi...partType=PART&utm_campaign=real-time-commerce

Searching for "spicer 10035080" shows that it is allegedly available online, although rather pricey:

Summit Racing

Going to the OTC tools page and searching for "hub socket":

https://otctools.com/search?search_api_views_fulltext=hub+socket

My guess is that it is one of these two:

@Commodus do either of these look familiar?
I have the 7270A socket and it worked on the Dana's i worked on in the day, but not 100% about fitting your setup. It almost looks like the Kingpin Dana 60 is a closer match? If you have any shops around you most techs are more than willing to show you what they use what will fit yousetup for sure
