Thanks to All! Groundog Thanks for the offer, I'll be needing these again though, so I'll be trying to locate my own set first. USMC6062 Thanks for the part #'s, that will save a lot of time, I'll give them a call. Kevin

Torque on socket? The TM wants 250-400 ft/lbs on the outer nut, those wheel nut sockets can do that without rounding out? Or do you finish torquing it with something else? Kevin

Thanks for the reply Wow, I'll need to scrounge those sockets up somewhere, don't have anything even approaching those sizes. Thanks again Kevin

I ordered boots for my front axle(1970 XM-813 5-Ton), and had planned on replacing them without disassembling the hubs. However, after getting 2-3 coffe cups of gear lube out of the bottom screw on one of the brushguards, I am going to back out of the job and get set up to replace the axle seals...

Bud Socket still available? PM Sent Thanks

Will Do groundog Glad to hear from you, you're not far away. After I get this truck PMCS'd, maybe we can head up there. Most of my normal driving will be in the Saddle Mountain area where we go shooting, and further out west into Harquhala Valley.

Thanks for the responses Much appreciated.

Just acquired an XM-813 about a 100 miles from home. I need to drive back after I get the insurance and title/registration squared away. I've driven and been assigned a lot M35 deuces over the years, but never a 5Ton. All the Deuces I've dealt with had air shift or some type of front axle...
