Tie Rods

So what size nut is on the outer tie rod?

So far I'm good on the ball joint nuts, calipers, caliper bracket, hub to knuckle (21mm or 22mm--but either way I'm good), and locking hub. I'm putting this all down in my manual so I don't have to guess since i have to load everything up when doing the heavy work.

Well I can't get you a size do to the cotter pin caps being in the way.
I recall that they were not some oddball size in the lower 20th I think.




Merry Christmas
