After installing a complete rear cradle, I discovered that the diff pinion seal is leaking. So off, comes the exhaust, tail shaft and rear coupling again. Then my socket wasn't deep enough to go over the nut.
So I've gotta go and buy a deep 1/2" drive socket, but I'm not sure if it's a 27mm 28mm or 29mm it looks to be one of those 3 but I'd rather buy just the right one than fork out for 3 of them. I've never needed a deep socket in that large size before and I probably never will again.
I've gotta buy a special socket for the hex bolts on the rear tail shaft coupling and I need to buy a special socket for the oil pressure sender switch as well. I'm taking samples of those with me but I just couldn't measure that pinion nut clearly because it's recessed inside the snout.
