What wrench size is the bolts that hold drive shaft to axle on M1009?

[merace19]

Need to know what size wrench to bring with me so I can drop the drive shaft to flat tow.
I know the M1008 is 7/16s just not sure on the M1009.
Thanks

Will they only let you carry one wrench with you? Now that is security. Wayne

I am 99% sure it is also 7/16" on the M1009 (been a while since I pulled my shaft). Bring a rag to jam in the transfer case output hole to prevent a big mess.

It is a 7/16 or 11mm, both are the technically same size (well too slight of a difference to matter). Do not bring a rachet wrench as it will likely not fit, does not clear the inside clamp.

Looking at the TM 9-2320-289-20p parts manual, the front drive shaft shows up as Item #13 - MS90728-86 and the rear shaft shows item #6 14018700

Looking up the parts on www.wbparts.com


So with all that said, the size is 7/16"

Thanks.. So the M1008 and M1009 are the same...



I carry the bare minimum tools.. Keeps me from stopping just outside the gate and working on it.
