Front hub spindle nut tool

[Awesomeness]

Does anybody have more info about the socket/tool needed to tighten the spindle nut? What size is it? Part number to buy one somewhere?

I don't see a drawing to make one in the back of the manual, nor do I see a part number called out anywhere.

Thanks!

OTC 1913GOV. 3 and 7/8 inch 8 point, seven inches deep 3/4 drive.https://dpequip.net/shop/other/5120...et-navistar-3114485c1-otc-1913gov-spx-521687/

Does the "GOV" in the part number specify that it is special? Deeper than a standard OTC1913?

I see commercial ones about 4" deep are easily available? Will those work too?

The OTC 1913 is only 4.3 inches deep.

came across one on fleabay long time back and ordered it. someone in here took the short one you speak off and cut and spliced it to make it longer I think

I would assume so and yes it needs to be the seven inch to reach in over the long spindle. Yea seen where OP's just added more length to a standard 1913.

Doesn't it need to be torqued down?

The TM calls for 50 foot pounds then back off 1/4 turn. Then 10 to 20 foot pounds and see if the inner gear plate lines up with the pin. If not do not tighten but you can back off one spline.
I took all of mine to 20 and had one line up perfect the rest had to adjust a tad.

I bought the shorter one and welded a piece of pipe on to extend as well.

That's not the same thing. This is a big socket used for taking off the spindle nut inside the hub, to take the hub off the spindle.

My hubs were so tight with the new seals seating it on spindle so yes I took mine to the 50 foot pounds to seat.
