Banno 479 Posted October 1, 2015 1-5/16th" pretty sure or 32mm but a tight fit on nut. But I maybe wrong though, someone here should be able to correct if wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banno 479 Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah it be imperial then. Wasn't sure with xf as most things are metric. Try with large shifter to get off but putting on would be better with a socket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dex 2,065 Posted October 1, 2015 Tried the shifter ...but the only shifter with jaws big enough , is too long and fouls the cat converter or the body .. That and the shape/curve of the arm its self inhibits any swing you may get .. Tried at all steering angles/locks I don't want to round it off trying ..

Banno 479 Posted October 1, 2015 You can get 1-5/16" sockets from TotalTools. Save alot of heart ache that you seem to be suffering now not exactly cheap around $20-$30 i think for a sidchrome but should have generic brands. Pretty sure the wheel locking nut for the bearings are the same sized too. To be honest i learnt from younger days from doing it the hard way without the correct tools. It always ended me costing more than what it wouldve been with right tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
