i am looking to purchase the tusk axle,i noticed it said something about needing a axle nut wrench(from tusk) to tighten the tusk axle nut's on..my question is,is the wrench for the tusk axle nut the same size as the stock axle nut?or do i have to buy two different wrenches?also should i maybe just change the carrier bearings while in there also?if so should i buy the bearing removing tool also and just do it all fresh for peace of mind?
 
I bought an 18" adjustable wrench from Harbor Freight for $20 and borrowed a second from a friend. Guys have used pipe wrenches but it leaves nasty tool marks. I didn't want to spend $40 for the Tusk tool which is pretty much one time use, you can make your own if you are a good fabricator and know how to weld.
