M101A1 spindle nut info

[OLDCHEV4X4]

FYI

The spindle nut size on my 1968 M101A1 3/4 ton trailer is 2 9/16.
I bought a OTC 2 9/16 8 POINT spindle nut socket from NAPA for $25.12
OTC part number 1905. It is 3/4 drive. Made in good ol USA.
A 6 point 2 9/16 socket will not work. Don't ask me how i know this.

Thanks, good to know.

I guess that is why I always use a hammer and chisel But in my defense I have seen the marks of a hammer and chisel on trailers purchased right from the guvmint.

Must be the same people in the guvmint that hammer and chiseled all the M37 spindle nuts on every truck I have owned, 8 so far. Carter
