Axle Nut Size

[JEsterline]

Can anyone tell me what size the axle nut might be on my 03. I need to change my u joints and don't seem to have a socket big enough. It kind of looks like it might be a 41 mm but not real sure. Don't really feel like buying a whole set of sockets, when I only need one. Thanks

I found out that mine takes a 42 mm socket.

nut size

I used a 1-11/16 [1 inch - eleven sixtenths] be sure its at least a3/4

[6 point if you can]drive cause the torque is 150 [foot lbs] rotate wheels then to 249 fp torque.

This is for the '03 4x4 front axle. Its good to have that service manal.

Anyone know the thread size on the front axle nuts?

JEsterline - did the 42mm work out for you?

Doing a little digging, it looks like the nut is actually 1-11/16 (1. 6875) rather than 42mm (1. 654). I ordered up a 1-11/16 6-point deep socket and a new 3/4" breaker bar.
