    My Jeep manual is loaned out, looking for a socket size. I have read that the nut on the T-90 output shaft is 1-5/16 , 6 point. I also read (not here, couldn't find anything) that others have used a 1-1/4 and took the grinder to it :? (That just sounds odd) I only have an 1-1/8 socket which is too small.

    I'm hitting the tool store and I don't want to drag in a trans... "what size is this?" :rofl:

    Maybe check Novak's website/knowledge base... or give them a call. Or call Herm... :?
    just some ideas, don't want to see you strain your back tossing the T90/D18 up on the counter at the tool store ;)

    Just a thought ... plastic vernier calipers, about $20, are one of the handiest measuring tools I own (second only to a 20' tape).

    Ditto the calipers. No got? Make one. 12 inch crescent wrench; size to fit, measure with tape. No got 12 incher? Make caliper from cardboard off the back of a scratch pad; or the flat side of a square milk jug. Cut a 1 1/4 inch notch. Not big enough? New notch, next guess size, and so on. Lots of ways to guess pretty close when you don't have a better option. Can I borrow your manual? No got. Yet.

    I think your right on the 1 5/16". I can check tonight. I've got one transfer case on the floor open and another on the workbench. Going by Sears today to pick up a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter so I can use my impact to break the nut loose.

    hmm......
    I just dug out another spare I have
    it is the earlier slotted type for cotter key
    it measures 1-5/16 OD
    guess it depends on which one you have Jon

    scratch the 1-1/4 nyloc
    the shaft diam is only 3/4"
    can't be for the T90 mainshaft
    must be for t/case output shafts
    go with the 1-5/16; that shaft diam is 1-1/16 or 1-1/8 diam
