Dana 60 Spindle Nut Socket

[Sharecropper]

I need to purchase a Dana 60 spindle nut socket to rebuild the front hubs on my M1028. I am sure there are different brands available, but is one brand better than another?

319 can hook you up.

snap-on has them for 75 new, only one I could find that was correct. It can do the outer and inner nut with one tool.

Thanks Iceman. Do you have that Snap-on part number?

Thanks to Iceman. Just bought the one on P-bay.

The ones at NAPA or another part store won't work?

 

[Iceman3005]

They are different will only remove first nut not the second one, needs to have four prongs for the first nut and four notches for the second. at least from the pics that I looked at napa's didn't have the four notches for the second nut, and all the other web sites were the same as napa's.

I got one from oreillys, worked for both. If i remember right it was only $25. Just have to read the package and get the right one for the right year truck/axle

Here's a close-up photo of the one I just bought on P-bay -

I may be crazy but I believe that both of the spindle nuts have slots for the prongs of the spindle nut socket. As far as I remember the nuts are the same with the exception of the inner nut having a tit on it that fits in a hole on the retaining washer. Check out the link to a pic I posted at the bottom of this page.

Will either of these 2 (snapon / oreiley) work on the 14 bolt?

 

[Iceman3005]

No the 14 bolt uses a different one.

What was the oreilly part number?
