Jibs Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Isn't it like 36mm? I think they're different for ea81 and ea82 models as well. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngllhm Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 most are 36mm doesn't mater which body(ea81-ea82) i have only ran into one that was a 30mm autozone will loan either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Can't say for sure on the "mm" size. I have a 3/4" socket set here, and just grab the one that fits the best. Usually, they're the larger size, (which I can't re-call right now), but sometimes find a smaller one. Yet to find one 30mm though, I have that socket here..

Snowman Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 36 mm on ea71, ea81, and ea82 on all of them that I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Remanufactured axles sometimes have cut-down and rethreaded ends. I got one that was 32mm, and they didn't supply new washer. IMO if you get a cut-down TAKE IT BACK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 36 MM and no more...no less. I would personally take the time and $ to invest in a proper 36MM socket...either 1/2 or 3/4 IMPACT socked. I got mine from NAPA, 1/2 drive...lasted thru the worst of abuse...lifetime warrenty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stansgl Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Laugh if you like but I used a pipe wrench .. it worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 The pipe wrench is great for removal but for installation the torque spec is hard to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
