Hi,

Does anyone know the castle nut size of the lower ball joint? (86' 720, 2wd) Apparently I don't have a big enough tool... :facepalm:

Thank you!

I think it's 24mm.

**EDIT** Yep! I just measured it with calipers and it's 24mm. Funny thing though - as I look back at the DIY post I can see that I'm using a socket that looks like one I borrowed from a friend - which means what? Well, I own a 24mm socket, so if I had to borrow one, then maybe . . . . . . . . I dunno! :gotme

Try a 24mm and let us know. :yesnod
