Difference between early and late pinion nuts? (1 Viewer)

[Hulsty]

I have a 1986 BJ74 but my diff centers are older, I think they are 40 series diffs. They both have solid pinon spacers and i've changed the drive flanges to suit the later larger style on my BJ74. Trouble is I am trying to source some pinon nuts, toyota list a different part number from 11/84 onwards.

Does anyone know the difference and if they are interchangable? I have to order them in and dont want to order the wrong stuff.

cheers

Yes, there are several different pinion nuts. They became larger later on... just as your info says.

Larger hex or the thread size itself?

Hi All:

Does anyone have pics of the different sizes of pinion nuts?

This sounds like something for the FAQ!!
