Lower control arm question

Ok guys, wait for it......

I need to know the nut size for the lower control arm shaft on a 70 1/2 ton. I need to hit Harbor Freight for a socket big enough to break em loose.

Thanks

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Lower control arm question

Good luck with HF. I went to Northern Tool to get one for mine, because NOBODY else carried one.

Re: Lower control arm question

I believe the lowers are 1 5/8". I did buy a full large impact socket set from HF. They are 3/4" drive if I recall so I had to buy an adapter set to upsize my 1/2" impact. This set is part of thier PRO line. From what I could tell, you cannot buy the individual size, only via a set. I think this set went up to 2".
