Dana 30 spindle nut size?

What is the socket size for the front spindle nut on a dana 30 front axle? Need to go and buy one today the front axle u-joint broke the last time I went wheeling. Any help is appriciated. :AMC:

 

Its a special tool.

It's a bit smaller than 2 1/8", probably 2 1/16". I used to get away the 2 1/8" 12 -point socket, but they make a specialty tool for hub nuts for different makes.. They're more necessary for Ford inner hubs.

Thanks, that should get me on the right track.

 

This socket is a New Britain NH1268, US Made & thin enough to do hubs. I don't know what the model number would be for the 2 1/16".

It also came in handy at work, so the socket had at least dual purposes, but good point about the costs, as long as the specialty tool is good quality steel to last a few lifetimes. Some of the Ford sockets I've seen are pure garbage.

Local Trails West 4x4 shop said they have in stock $19.99 which seems high to me but no shipping cost and no waiting. The guy on the phone said he thought it was 2 1/8 but wasn't sure. Has to be the same he said it fit up to 85 or 86 CJ models.

 

Not a bad price, depending on country of manufacture & warranty?
Measure the nut, it's 2 1/16".

Went ahead and ordered from 4wd $10.99 plus $4.00 shipping should be here wed. They are only about an hour and a half from Columbus. Thanks for the help.

 

4WD hardware is a very good outfit.

I have one of their sockets and have had no problem with at all.
