I have a 92 F-150 4x4, with the Dana 60 manual front hubs. I was looking to change the front rotors, a local shop I use wanted $700.00 to change the rotors, calipers and pads. Ouch, cant afford that. Im looking to sell the truck anyway, and I am a mechanic, I can do the job but can not find a Spanner Lock Nut Wrench (D85T-1197-A), anywhere!!!. I called my local Discount Auto, and Autozone, no luck. I may have to make one at work, wish I could buy one, somewhere , it would be worth the money I save by doing the job myself.

 

If you are talking about the socket to remove the lock nuts under the lucking hubs that holds everything onto the spindle, when I did my front end I rented a loaner kit from advanceauto parts that had 4 spanner sockets in it. i don't remember the exact size though.

I got mine at Napa years ago. Heck if there is that damn much money in doing that I may have to come out of retirement. At most it would take me about an hour a side. And that in the front yard.

 

I saw one's at orielly auto today,do you have that store near you?

 

Unless someone swapped in a solid axle Dana 60, that truck will have a TTB Dana 44.

 

I got mine @ AutoZone... was in the specialty tools section

 

You may try looking for a spindle nut socket. That what I bought was called.

 

I remember seeing one built on the powerblock show don't remember how far back , but look like apipe of some sort with small rods for the actual pins for the nut.

 

I got mine at VIP Discount Auto - it was hanging with the rest of the sockets/wrenches.

The trucks stock so I guess its a Dana 44 then, guess I'll have to call some more parts stores and see what I can find, no oriely stores here in Central Fla, Discount Auto, Autozone, Napa are the main ones.

rla2005 , thanks that looks about right, I guess I can order it online or call around my local Auto zones and see if they have it. Im wondering how that will work though looking at the pictures of the nut, the holes appear to be round, where that wrench has basically square lugs.




# 4 is the nut, guess Ill have to buy it and see.

 

there two nuts and a lock washer. the first nut you will take off is smooth on both sides and is the jam nut, then there is a washer with holes in it that corrispond with a dowel on the inner nut, make sure you dont install them wrong, the washer keeps the inner nut from moving after reassembly. the notches in the nuts are square and should be 4 of them

 

Cool, fdude64, so you have done this job, thanks for the info, this forum is great!!!

 

Ya should be able to walk out of Napa with that tool.
