    Anybody know off the top of thier head what size socket I need to buy to get off the nut that holds the tranny output gear on? In as much as I've done this years ago I can't find any sockets that big around the garage anymore :(.

    Either a 1 1/8" or a 1 1/4" socket if my memory is correct.

    The T-14 is an 1-1/4" too. Not sure on the T-90 I'd guess the same.

    I've got a 11/4", too small. The only sockets I have larger than that are metric. It's bigger than 32mm, smaller than 36mm, which tells me exactly nothing :(.

    Thanks anyhoo-

    1 3/8" approximately. As there are 25.4mm/inch.
    but could be 1 5/16"

    Mine was 1 5/16" Most 1/2" socket sets don't go that high, but I have one. It should be easy to find in a 3/4" socket.

    And Now for the Rest of the Story:

    Had a few minutes this morning before going to work to play with this, got the brilliant idea to size the nut by sticking an adjustable wrench in the hole , adjust it to the nut & using a digital caliper to then measure the wrench jaw opening.

    Why this didn't occur to me to do this the other day I can only attribute to to much beer consumed when I was younger.

    Now, here's the good part-

    I put the adjustable over the nut, moved th jaws togeather & pulled the wrench out. I got a reading of 1.306". I repeated to double check & as I did I inadvertantly twisted the wrench *just a bit*. Something didn't feel right- oh wait, I *Twisted* the wrench & THE NUT MOVED.

    The %*&#$^#$ thing was loose on the %*&#$^#$ shaft:mad:

    Wasn't even finger tight, I just spun it right off:oops:

    Why it didn't occur to me to check this the other day I can only attribute to to much beer consumed when I was younger.

    I did double check the nut size with the caliper, got the same thing as I measured using the wrench, just a tad under 1 5/16".
