Driveshaft center bearing flange nut
 

Anyone know if the stake nut that retains the flange holding the carrier bearing on a 2-piece driveshaft is the same or similar to the pinion nut on the third? I need to replace the carrier bearing, but apparently no one has the nut in stock. I have an extra pinion nut and was hoping that it was the same diameter and pitch, but that the staking shoulder is taller or something.

Yep, should be the same thing.

Took it all apart last night and the pinion nut I have did not appear to be the same size. I did not take my old companion flange nut off to compare, though. I'm gonna wait on the one my parts guy ordered and compare them before proceeding.

Interesting, the t-case and pinion flange nuts are all the same size, 30mm nuts. Never seen the center support bearing nut, though.
