On the JK Wrangler (your 2013–2016), the front axle/hub nut takes a 36mm socket.
Couple quick tips while you’re in there:
- You’ll want a 1/2" or 3/4" drive and a decent breaker bar — they’re on there tight.
- If you’re doing wheel bearings, crack that nut loose with the wheel still on the ground, then jack it up.
- When you go back together, make sure you torque it properly (don’t just send it with an impact and hope for the best).
So yeah, grab a 36mm and you’re good 👍🏻
