Dana 60 wheel bearing nut on a 70 f250 4x4

Post by Madman »

Thought I had it all covered but my socket set fell a little short (only went up to 2 inch). Any one know what size of a socket is it? A tool and part number would be awesome. I will measure it tomorrow, but hoped someone may just know the answer offhand.

If memory serves me correctly it's 2 5/16.

I picked mine up at the local O'Reilly's.

Looks like it is a 2-1/2 inch nut in case anyone needs to know besides me

As an fyi to whoever may need this, a 2-1/2 socket worked but was tight. It may be to previous owners using a chisel to drive the nut on and off. 2-9/16 feels really sloppy.
