The rear axle hub nut should be torqued to 260Nm or 192 lb/ft - this applies also to the front axle hub nut.
36 mm will fit the axle hub nut.
Yes you can, The axle will stay attached to the hub in that situation though. After the brakes are off you will see bolts on the rear of the knuckle holding hub on. Lossen bolts about 1/4 in. Using an old socket start to hammer on the bolts until the hub comes loose. This can be a challenge.
Most wheel hub nuts are 36mm in size. However, this will vary depending on the type of axle and the manufacturer of the hub nut.
The axle shaft nut is 32 mm.
If the nut isn't tight on the end of the axle, the splines on the axle, in the hub or both can wear out.
