I have a Dana 60 rear axle on my truck and I want to do a brake job on it and I need to buy the socket to take off the rear drums.Does anyone know what size the nut is that holds the rear drums on?, and when I reinstall the rear drums ,what do I torque the wheel bearings down to? Thank you

Can't help you with the socket right now but here are the specs from a 1972 overhaul manual,
5,200-7,200 rear axle capacity
Bearing adjustment nut torque, 50-60 ft. lbs.(with wheel rotating)
Adjusting nut back-off, 1/8 turn.
Outer locknut torque, 175 ft. lbs.
Resulting bearing adjustment, slight preloaded.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
