Knuckle nut sizes?
I have a 99 F-250 4x4...
Does anyone know off hand what size the top nut and bottom nut are that bolt the knuckle to the axle?
Will regular a regular socket and breaker bar take the bottom nut off?
Thanks

I'm not sure if you have an early 99 and not sure if they are different but a later 99+ should be 34mm socket. You should be able to get them off with a breaker bar and some grunting, maybe heat, maybe a cheater bar and for sure some cursing.

Mine were 1 1/8" (28mm) on top and 1 5/16" (33mm) on bottom. Replacements were 1 5/16" top and bottom. I had no problem breaking loose with my spud ratchet and a 3 foot piece of 1 1/2" aluminum pipe.
