Default Spicer axle diff flange nut - ‘67 123GT

Hi,

Can someone please tell me the size of the diff flange nut for me?

Hoping to replace the oil seal at some point.

Cheers,

Mike.

That sounds about right - I thought I might have made a picture of undoing mine here =>

But unfortunately I didn't snap away when doing that.

@ExCee70 I don't wish to teach you to suck eggs but I hope you are aware of what might happen =>

Time served aircraft fitter and been working on my own cars for years. Custom and kit cars, 4x4 and V8s. Don’t feel the pinion seal is beyond me but just wanted a heads up on nut size for socket requirements.
Aware it is a mahoosive torque as well, especially when trying to work under the car.
Thanks for the heads up though guys because every day is still a school day 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, beware of the torque needed. Hard to do at home under the car as you can easily twist the car off of axle stands. Safest and best to do it with the car on a garage lift. Not read any negative comments recently but some said that the seals fitted badly and were easy to damage when bolting everything up. Perhaps good and correct ones now available.

If your torque wrench is long enough, you might be able to reach from the LHS of the car applying downward force, kinda like doing a three-point pushup. Worked for me.

Will try to get it done soon.
