Front Axle Nut Size

[esinger@northstate.net (Eric D Singer)]

Well,  taking everything off was hard, but the reverse was easier except
getting the ball joint back in.  I'd just put on the wheel, tighten the lug
nuts and was about to torque the axle nut when it started pouring down
raining.

It'd 5:00 pm now and it's time for alcoholic therapy.

Thanks for all the help and advice,

Eric Singer
