I just bought a 94 GT and I'm trying to get it put back together and (legally) drivable. Current issue I found while I was getting my tires replaced. The guy was putting my driver's front wheel on and said that the wheel was wobbling after he tightened it. He said the CV axles looked new, so maybe they didn't tighten them up enough. With the lugs tightened up, you can still tilt the wheel back and forth.
Is there more to this than just buying the axle nut socket and tightening it? Do I just pull the pin out and replace it with another when I'm done? Anyone know off the top of their head what size socket I need? -------------------- Celica Timeline:

B.S. The bearing is pressed in on the front hub/knuckle/spindle... Whatever you wanna call it. I bought a bearing at carquest for 30 and had a shop press it in for 20. All I had to do was pull the knuckle off and bring it to them. Keep calling around and just tell them you need a bearing pressed out and a new one pressed in. I find that mre often than not I know better than the shop so I feed them as little information as possible to get exactly what I want done.
