Where can I get a 2 9/16" spindle nut socket for a reasonable price? If you have a part number and who makes it, that would help too.

Napa wants $31 and they guy can't even tell me what the part number is or who the mfg is.

Are you sure it's 2-9/16? If it's for the Toy pickup on your homepage, it's 2-1/8"... And you can get one from sears for about $25. But it'll be 3/4" drive whatever size it is, just FYI.

It is for my rear D60 HD. The nut measures about 2.55" across the flats.

I don't know if you have an Autozone in your area or not, but they rent big sockets. Their biggest is 36mm or so I think. :D

That is the only place I found that has them...do you have hafers in your area...if so try them it lloked like they had the same mfg as the NAPA one...

You should have it in your tool box. Hammer and chisel. You may have to buck up and buy the one form NAPA or AZ. If you have a normal socket big enough, the wall is usaly to big to fit in the hub.

Also pepp boys is the cheapest I found, just got the Ford 10.25 adn D80 one, $13. NAPA wanted ~$50

I figure the 2.5" might work since it is only a few 1000's off the 2.55 measurement...anyway...How bout this...they have them up to 4 1/8 and mention Dana Axles:

- 2-9/16" Truck Wheel Locknut Socket

http://www.handsontools.com/store/show_product/?product_id=2141

These sockets have a 3/4" square drive opening, permitting the use of an extension and torque wrench to tighten the locknut as required. Locknut removal and installation is simple, even when wide-rim wheels are involved, since a long extension may be attached to the socket to provide the necessary clearance. Sockets are made of high-strength steel; openings resist "rounding out."

Socket is 6-Point. Fits Special "rounded" hex nut as found on Dana axles of some Ford trucks.

Yeah, I used the hammer and chisel method to remove the nuts, but I just can't see installing and setting the proper preload with that method so I want a socket. I will have to check out Pepboys and see what they can come up with.

Thanks for the link Shrock.....I forgot about OTC tools.
