Dodgeb4ya Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Hand crank nut is a 1-11/16" or 1-13/16" socket size. Edited May 2, 2010 by Dodgeb4ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenoklahoma Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hand crank nut is a 1-13/16" socket size. Thanks! right or left hand thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Am pretty sure its right hand thread, I had to redo the rivets holding my P11 crank hub onto the crank pulley, had to remove the radiator and used a wooden block wedged against the pully side and the front crossmember to undo it, and then the block on the other side of the pulley to do it up..........good luck....andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gaspard Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Better double check before you buy that pricey socket. The socket that fits my cam shaft nuts is 1-11/16". Both are B3B 218 ci engines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Gaspard Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Looks can still be deceiving. My two look like the crank nut example on far right (1-13/16") but mine both measure 1-11/16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, I have reposted the crankshaft nut sizes/styles picture with the 1-11/16" hand crank nut included with the 1-13/16" nut too. I just didn't look through my crank nut selection well enough!
