Pinion Shaft Retainer Bolt Size?
Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I went out to grab the rear disk stuff from a junkyard for my XJ. I believe the GC I was working on was a 2000. Anyone know the size of the head for that retaining bolt? Nothing I had seemed to fit it. Trying to go out again this weekend.
Thanks
Thanks

Old fart with a wrench
If you're talking about the nut on the pinion holding the driveshaft yoke on, you're going to need wrenches about 3 feet long! That nut is an interferance fit and takes about 150 lb/ft or more to turn. No, I don't know what size it is.

No, sorry the pin that goes through the center of the differential carrier, I always called it the pinion shaft, but that may not be right. There is a small bolt, maybe like 7 or 8mm that retains this pin, It has a weird head, maybe a male torx head or 12 point, it's really hard to tell when laying under the Jeep at the junkyard

I will see if I have these at home and bring them next time I go. I have a set of male torx I'll bring along too. Thanks, guys.
