I have my front Pinion Seal leaking on my 2004 with 4.10s. I was gonna do it in the driveway one day soon. I was just gonna drop the front drive shaft and mark the nut and pinion then take the nut of then tighten it just a little past where it was marked so i wont mess up my backlash.

Well my question is what size is the nut on the pinion i know i dont have a socket big enough and i gotta go borrow one thats the reason i need to know

thanks

 

Man, I hate to tell you the wrong one, but I do believe its like a 32mm or something. But then again, it seems like a standard size fit it too. Hold on....

 

Alright I would take my shaft off and check but i really dont want to drop it twice

 

Anyone know the exact size?

 

id bet on 1 1/16 but dont hold it to me...that may be just the rear

 

I will try that size then but if its not that size i will go eThug on yo a$$

 

Seems like it was either that or an 1 1/8th. Search through some threads on this. There is a very detailed thread on it somewhere. Its the one I used when I changed mine.

 

So I got my parts (13 and some change for the seal). I still gotta get diff fluid... But Im still trying to find the nut size. for the front pinion... I really would like to get this done very soon and i cant do it until i found the socket size so I know what size to borrow

 

I don't remember off-hand, but I will look tomorrow and let you know what size socket you need.

 

I tried to find my old front pinion nut but I only found the rear. The rear pinion nut size is 1-1/16". I believe the front is as well.

 

Alright thanks

 

1and1/8", just checked.
