LB7: Rear Axle Seal

[roadrashgixer]

I'm about to replace my right rear axle seal. It's leaking onto my emergency brake shoes.
Can anyone tell me the size of the axle nut socket (with the fingers on it to fit the nut)? I'm going to buy one, but don't know what size it is.
Also, is there only one seal, or is there another gasket or seal I need to buy?

Thanks,

i just did this i forget what size it was but i used a socket out of my 3/4 set and it worked fine. there is 1 seal and a gasket on the end of the axle shaft nobody had 1 so i made 1 and used some rtv.

U can actually take it off without the tool, I took mine off went to the auto parts store and got the socket....it's only needed to torque back on....used a screwdriver to take it off as it was just snug tight....
