Anyone know what size socket to remove the pinion nut on a D60 front?

Also, same question for the rear output of my 205.

I'm thinking it's in the 1 5/16-1 3/8 range

if ya dont get a response to this from someone that knows off the top of their head, PM me, I'll get out a caliper and climb under the rig...

IIRC, it's 1 5/16 on both.

 

[84_Chevy_K10]

jek, if you could do that just to double check, i've got to go on a 25 mile round trip to buy the socket since mine stop at 1 1/4", it'd be appreciated.

I'm thinking 1 5/16 is correct as well

Got calipers? Put a caliper on it, or make do with a pair of needle nose vice or something. Adjust till it touches, pull it off, and measure. Should easily be able to get within +/- 1/32 which would be close enough.

Only calipers I own are at my work, sitting on the parts counter. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The correct answer is 1 5/16"

Beat me to it, I just went ahead and pulled the shaft to check... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Has to be thin wall 1 5/16" as well. I had a hell of time finding one at the time I needed it to get my pinion off my front 60. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I got a generic 3/4" drive chrome 12 point 1 5/16" socket and it worked fine.

Damn the Sears here, NO INDIVIDUAL SOCKETS!!!!!! What kinda crap is that???

 

[az-k5]

I got a generic harbor freight 3/4" drive kit. The 1-5/16 wrked fine. I don't thik they are truly a thin wall design.

 

[BadDog]

Same thing I used for mine.

BTW, Matt, do you still need that D60 1310 yoke? If so, I've still got it for you...
