Hey all.

While changing my final drive, I was wondering what size is the pinion nut?
Also does anyone know if there are deep sockets that'll fit the nut?


aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnddddddddd, is it a left or right hand thread?

It's either 1 and 5/16 or one and one half.

Find yourself a good local general car part/mechanic place. My one (GT Motor) loans me tools, hell one guy was going to lend me his car. I thought that was cool.

Flywheel bolts inch and a half.
