hi. does anyone have the socket to remove nut on rear end of trans. 1984 300 sd. to replace flange. or to direct me to one please. neef to repair my trans. thanks guys

I've found that once the staked part of the nut is bent out so it can turn, hitting one of the edges of the outer notches with a punch and hammer loosens them up every time, and then I replace them with the new 12-point nuts that are available, which I stake in place.

I took an angle grinder to a cheap 1-7/8” (= 46mm?) socket to make my own. I don’t know where it is.

thanks. , will try

They are available from the forum's sponsor. Albeit, a little pricey. However, if simple methods don't get it done, sometimes the correct tool saves you money and time in the long run.
