What size is the lower control arm bushing nut? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello again! I am going to have to buy a wrench or a socket to remove the lower control arm bushing nuts on my 72, and I want to be sure I get the right size. When I measure the nut, it looks like a 1 5/8 socket might be a little too small, and I would need a 1 11/16 -- does that sound right?

I thought I'd ask before I buy the wrong one.

Thanks!

1 5/8 is right. I had to go with the socket and impact when I did mine. its a real pain to do with anything else.
