Pinon Nut

Post by bigginger »

What's the correct socket size for the differential pinion nut? It's the one just behind the prop flange. I've got as far as "one I haven't got AF"...

Thank you. I hadn't got round to measuring it yet, thought it might be Whitworth :D

The only locking device on that nut is a spring washer and it needs to be
tightened to 140 pounds.

Yup - just need to remove one from a 4:55 and put it and the cover on to a 4:22... Curse the person who removed it :D
