Phil,
Socket, yes. Go to a farm type store, they have them cheaper.
Note that there is a lock tab washer that needs to be bent back
with a dull chisel (dead screwdriver). The left side has a left hand
threaded nut, so is "lefty tightey, righty loosey". And you don't need a
puller, I just put the brake drum back on Inside-out and tap gently with a
hammer. Then less gently if required.
Good luck.
