Subject:That big nut on the rear hub...

I am going to try and tackle a complete front end brake and bushing job this
weekend.  In addition, I need to replace the rear shoes and have the drums
turned if time permits.

In looking at the Bentley, it appears that the BIG nut on the end of the
rear spindle has to come off in order to remove the drum and get to the
brakes.  Is this correct?  If so, what size socket does this take, and will
I need a 6' long breaker bar to get it off?  :-)
