So I need to replace my CV Axle. I have all the parts and tools I need to do it. The problem is that while I was under the car, I stripped the edges off a nut that I need to remove.
To remove the CV Axle, you have to remove the nut on the end of the axle at the hub. And there is also a nut and bolt on the back of the steering knuckle behind the hub that has to be removed. That's the nut I stripped. Anyway, not sure why I explained all of that.
But I need to know the thread pattern, size, and grade of that nut so I can cut it off and replace it. So if anybody just happens to know or can find out, that would be awesome.
Normally I would just cut it off and do it myself, but I can't be without my car for more than a few hours. And those few hours are after all the hardware stores are closed so I can't take the nut off and go size it up. So I would like to have the replacement on hand when I finally do the work.
