I working on my 97 7.3 obs 2wd, with 5 speed.
I have to drop the drive shaft to do a rear trans. seal.
Can some one please tell me the bolt size? I have tried the search
function with no luck.
Side note if any one cares.
I bought this truck last summer (love it) and put it away for the long winter here.
(salt kills)
I pulled it in the barn last week to install a new ebrake cable. I ended up replacing both cables, shoes, cyls, drums, pulled hubs and replaced all 4 bearings/races/seals and a brake line. Can you say snowball??
Now I am replacing the rear trans. seal but thinking I should pull the trans and do a clutch. I can hear the dual mass flywheel ratteling noises. Am trying to decide if I want to farm it out or not. I hate paying labor.
Anyway, This site was very helpful last year and I an looking forward to
participating and learning more about this diesel.
I can't say for sure on a 2WD truck, but IIRC mine (4X4 AND f-350) were either 8mm or 5/16.... hopefully someone will be along shortly with a better answer for you.
