12 point socket, 30mm I think.

You've got to drop the upper ball joint the allow the knuckle to drop outward. This will allow the axle to be snaked out of the hub, then pulled out. I just did one I was afraid to open the upper joint on and it too some serious shoving on the motor after loosening the motor mounts to get the axle to clear the block.
