Dand 60 Rear hub nut size?
Hi. I've searched the forums for a while so here comes my question. I'm trying to remove the rear hubs on the dana 60 in this 1966 f250 2wd.
Anyone know what size socket to use?
I read in one post where a 2-3/8" was too big but that's the closest measurement I can come up with. I'm heading to the store to get one tomorrow....ur, I mean today.
Anyone know what the correct torque for the pinion nut is?
Also, I am just replacing the pinion and wheel seals. No other changes in the rearend over the factory setup.
Thanks!!

Check and make sure your vent hose is open.
A clogged up vent hose(usually by mud dobbers) will blow your seals.
A regular 2 5/16 socket will not go into axle housing.
It will have to be an axle socket.
Bought mine off e-bay when I couldn't find one locally.
Spicer model 60 Pinion shaft nut torque to 250-270 per 1965 shop manual.
