I got an NP205 and I need the yoke nut.

Where can I get one?

The nut is a 1 -5/16".

The problem 3/4" drive 1-5/16" Don't fit in the yoke.
A wrench dosn't have enough room

SO i see only one solution a 1-5/16" 1/2" drive. The problem with this is I Can't find one. From the sears store they say Craftsman don't make it. Neither does lowe's neither does home depot. Ford don't carry the part. So what can i do?

I know where there is a NP205 with a busted case in a junkyard but I can't get that durn nut off?

EVEN if I go to a hardware store and find a nut to fit the treads how am i gonna put it on?

I'm lost if i'm overlooking something too simple PLEASE let me know.

Thanx

I ran into the same problem rebuilding mine. Luckily my friends dad had a nice thin walled socket that fit. I think it was an 18pt socket if I remember right craftsman or snap on. The 6pt sockets side walls are to thick thus the problem with the yoke nut.

craftsman said they didn't have one and I asked the manager so i kinda rekon they don't?

maybe snap on

anybody a snap on dealer?

Try this, proto's are what I use (it's what they buy me)

You need the nut also? Go to the dealer or your 4x4 shop. You're not gonna find that nut at the hardware store.

Yes, you need a 12 pt 1 5/16" socket. I bought mine at Sears, and it BARELY fit the 1350 yoke, i had to hammer it in actually. But now i have a flange for the 1350CV so no probs...

the Dealer dose NOT have the nut and really don't care to find it for me but I found one in a junk yard I wanna get cuz the case is cracked and just gotta get the right socket.

Elf-crusier Is that a 1/2" drive? If so could you post the numbers on the side of it? I'd like to know

Thanx

Brian R I belive that be what i'm looking for just gotta wait till monday to go pick see about getting one. thanx

no, it's a 3/4" drive socket.

I ALSO USED A 3/4 " DRIVE TO GET MINE OFF THE FIRST TIME..

NOW I HAVE A 1350 CV FLANGE AND THE NUT IS 1 1/8 "

have a machine shop turn your socket down till it fits ;)

well there is NO way that 3/4 drive will fit it's OD is 1/8 too big

BrianR brought up probably the best option,

I got a good cheep machine shop but its probably esier to buy the right tool

I went throught this, and finally just bought a Snap-on, chrome socket. You can buy Snap-on tools online

I just get the socket and turn it down til it fits.

so you think that noone else in the world has removed this nut?
I had to go buy a 12 pnt socket to get mine off, cheapo parts store brand fits fine not a 6pt impact

yes I know somebody else has removed it and ran into the problems, i just couldn't find a 12pt 1/2" drive and i wanted to know what folks did. I made my self clear to keep people who didn't know about the problem from answering. I should be able to get a socket thanx to BrianR tommorrow
