Default Need Help Busted Lug bolts on 94 3000gt sl

I have a 1994 gt sl, the front driver side wheel I had 3 Lugs bust off. I have a few question about repair to this area...

I need to know the Size socket goes on the axel nut, on front Drive side.

What size screw go into the tapped holes in the brake rotor to push the brake rotor off.

Any Thoughts and Idea will be greatly Helpful

The axel nut is REALLY big. You are looking at between a 24-28 mm socket. I know because I just replaced my clutch and we had to pull the axel out in order to take out the tranny. I would suggest getting a new cotter pin too :-) Did you screw up your rotor? because you should be able to beat on it and get it off...

it is a 32mm nut. A dead blow hammer and some tapping should get the rotor off.
Does you SL have ABS?? If not, you can change it the studs without removing everything.
If it has ABS, you will also need a ball joint separator for the ball joint and tie-rod and remove the whole hub assembly. It is a real PITA.

Thanks, stealth... I didn't remember the nut being that big, but you are the man, so what you say goes :-) I tried to remember, but I replaced my clutch like 3 months ago and I was not COMPLETELY sure on the size. Oh, and I don't have ABS, nor do I care for it, so I dont know about any of that stuff... sorry for the incorrect information
