Does any one have any clue as to what size socket is needed to remove the pinion nut on a 00 ranger with a 8.8 rear end?

I need to replace my oil seal on the pinion, and I'm trying to round up all my tools before I start.

While I'm at it, I'll be draining my manual tranny and transfer case and refilling it, the ole ranger should be happy!

Thanks for any help!

 

Super, I looked in my Ford Manual but it does not mention the size of the nut.

 

thanks for the replies, I found out what size it was when I pulled the drive shaft off.

FYI tools needed for pinion oil seal change:

3/8'' drive ratchet
12mm socket
1 1/16 box end wrench or socket (pinion nut)
small hammer
small pry bar
oil pan, and rags
2 or 3 jaw gear puller
possibly a suction gun

If anyone is curious on how to do this, I can explain in detail, but right now I'm a bit short on time.

 

Hi, when you get the time I would appreciate it, im due to change the pinion seal in my 2005 Ford Courier and any help would be appreciated. Thanks
