what size is the pitman arm nut 89 b2

spdcrazy · Apr 7, 2008

hey guys i need a quick answer what size is the nut connecting the pitman arm to the gear box... something bigger than a 1 1/4 i know but my buddy is in town and i need to know what size wrench to buy...

89 b2.... thank you!

come on, someone has to have today off or is bored... test fit a wrench for me!!!!

Hold on, ill go measure it.

metalmacguyver · Apr 7, 2008

My calipers said about 32.5mm so go with a 33mm. I am 99% sure that it will be the same size. I measured the one on my ranger. I would say that it is a good opportunity to get a big adjustable wrench though. A really really big adjustable wrench.

thanks macguyver.

ohh and the ebrake line will work on the outside of the leaf as well i think. it has a spring just aft of the front leaf mounting point. that will hold it outta the way...

i was thinking the nut is a 1 5/16? or something metric? maybe a 32 or 34mm? all i know is it is bigger than 1 1/4

i use a 32mm and its snug... really really snug, but it works. nobody really seems to have a real answer to this question though.

It's 1 5/16.

Jeez guys, give it more than, say 75 minutes before you say "no one knows."

we have been here before, nobody had a real answer then either. 1-5/16 is 1.3125 which is probably sloppy if it mic'd at something like 1.28

ok well i got it with a 32mm. so you call it whatever you want to.. i call it off my truck. so i'm one step closer to being 4in higher... haha

thanks guys. and worse yet, my buddy was going to pick up a 1 1/8 wrench for my front coils cuz i didn't have one... and about ten min b4 he got back with it, i found one laying around in my pops tool box... go figure.

it isn't a standard size.....i tried 1-5/16" on mine and it was a no go. Mine too a 33mm and it was good and snug..

I cant remember the last time i found something on my truck that was a standard size. Everything is metric AFAIK. Mind you some things fit better with standard sizes after the rust has gotten to them.....

mjonesjr · Apr 8, 2008

my '86 BII had a mixture of standard and metric sizes. That pisses me off more than metric itself.

spdcrazy · Apr 8, 2008

who in their right mind would produce a vehicle with metric and standard sizes..... makes me go nutz!!!!! but luckily i got a nissan too so my tool box is about even with standard and metric...

BlackBII · Apr 8, 2008

Every BII I've ever owned has had both standard and metric wtf?

MAKG · Apr 8, 2008

It has both standard and metric because you've bought the utter BS that Ford is an "American" company (or indeed that such a thing really exists).

When you make the suspension in Ohio, the transmission in Japan and the engine in Germany, you really should expect to have some metric bolts in there.

The later models went all metric, as did nearly everything else.
