Front Diff. Pinion nut size???? ASAP

[JSM]

Does anybody know the size of the nut on the pinion shaft of front diff.

I have to pull it off tonight, and want to make sure I have a socket to fit..

BluBya won't run out to garage and pull his truck apart to check for me, is there anybody helpful??? Blubya seems worthless lately.

awwww come on.. I just got it down from the 3+mos it spent on jackstands..

I kinda like it in low-rider mode..

32mm is the pinion nut!

thanks....

already had it done...luckily I had a socket in my tool box, one of the FEW big ones.

had to change the pinion for my new beafy front driveline...

No more fear of propshaft launching instead of truck.

well i should be launching soon. 100 break in miles to go. Got front diff bracket under pinion welded back on today so thats good. Once my vac kit gets here and i resolve my only reaching 8psi i should be happy for a day or 2!
