What size socket for axle retaining bolt on 73' 4000

ggb3 · Dec 26, 2016

Good morning y'all,
Anyone know what size socket is needed for the axle retaining bolt on a 73' 4000? The largest I have won't fit, so I will be going to get a kit and want to make sure the correct size in in there.

Thanks,
George

According to the parts book, that bolt is 7/8" diameter, so a 1-5/16" socket should do the job.

Like Bern, I believe it is 1 1/16"

Use an impact wrench to reduce the likelihood of breaking wheel studs.

Thank you both. I will use my Milwaukee fuel impact on it, it is a beast, although I may have to rig some adapters up to get to that large of a socket; don't know if that size comes in 1/2 drive..
