If it the same as my '99 dually, it measures 2 3/4" outside diameter at the 4 lugs, 1 9/16" on the shaft dia.. here is a pic.. I got mine at schucks/Oreileys... around $25..(PowerBuilt spindle nut # 648476)
Be sure to torque to the proper amount when re assembling.. Don't have the spec's right now..

Thank you Clintbonnie and Blackbeltdually I appreciate your quick response. I plan on doing this tomorrow I hope. I was suppost to leave for wyoming Thursday but will be lucky to get out by Sunday now. Is the tork 60psi? And why did your emergency brake go out, seals I guess I'll know soon here. I see no grease but they don't hold and pedal is strong. Chet

This is the method I used for re assembling the nut, etc..
When you re-install the hub nut, push in on the socket so the ratcheting parts of the hub nut don't engage and tighten to 70 lb/ft and then back it off 90º. Now retorque it to 18 lb/ft to 20lb/ft max.
Slide axle back in and torque the bolts to 77 lb/ft.
