this is mine dude... ok to fill everyone in, he blew his hub.. bad enough teh tire started "falling off" and he is trying to get the corect size socket on his axle shaft to take it apart... this is to help him,,,

mine is a 1 inch shaft, to give a referance of what yours is teh same thing...

my nut is 1 and 3/4 like i said

 

I Changed one yesterday on my 97 1500 it was a 1 3/4 also.

 

ok, there ya go yakkier... its a 1 3/4

now a question..... anyone know what that is in mm?

 

It's a 43 mm
1 11/16 fit's too
1 3/4 is a bit loose but it's what I used

 

i used 1 11/16 without a problem

 

now was it tight in the hub... like he doesnt know if the socket will fit in the hub to hit the nut...

 

my socket was a shallow socket....about 3 inches long...and like i said no problems

 

was this due to his bad u joints that he was talkin about the other day?

 

i dont know, but its possible hes changing them while hes there

 

might as well do the seals as well...its only another 25 bucks...has he started this "project"?
