1 1/4" but beware....... Posted by Doug [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: axle nut size ?, Jeff S2, Fri, 31 Aug 2001 15:40:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A 1 1/4" socket will work but if you are planning on replacing a half shaft or wheel bearing there are a few things you should be aware of. The bearing is press fitted into the steering swivel member and secured both inboard and outboard by means of a circlip. The outboard driveshaft is splined in the hub and is press fitted into the bearing. What this means is you might have to have a machine shop disassemble the unit and reassemble with a new bearing. If you try to get the half shaft out without destroying the bearing, good luck. 9 out of 10 the bearing will be destroyed. Don't beat on the end of the shaft to free it from the bearing (will screw the threads up and you'll be buying a new shaft) When you re-install the hub nut the tightening torque is 214-228 ft. lbs.
