Anyone happen to know the rear axle nut size for an X1 in millimeters? |

1-7/16 works pretty well also, if you're into the whole 3/4" drive thing |

"I just use a big azz adjustable crescent wrench" That works OK as long as you don't believe in torqeing critical nuts/bolts to spec. |

Torque the rear axle nut to about 70 ft. lbs. Went to NAPA for my 36mm. Inexpensive and good socket. |

I pulled one out of my old VW Bug tool box. Same size axle nut. I carry it on trips with me in case I have to pull the rear wheel. |

It also happens to be the same size as the nut for the oil filter on my BMW... |
