OK I’m getting really frustrated. After reading about the pinion nut coming loose I decided to bite the bullet and pull my rear differential. I’m glad I did because the nut was almost all the way backed off with about 1/8" end play in the pinion shaft and no threads on the shaft showing. The problem is I can’t find a deep enough 1 3/4" socket. I don’t have the resources to cut, grind, or drill through tool steel and I don’t have access to welding equipment. I’ve read about some member Powermaxx his name is Darrell but there is no contact information that I can find. He had posted on an old thread that they sell the modified socket. Does anyone know where I can purchase a socket that will work? I’ve been looking online for four days now and nothing. I did order a "deep well" 1 3/4 socket from NAPA only to find when it came in that it was only about 1/4" deeper than the $9.99 socket available from Tractor Supply. Neither of which are deep enough.
