I would change the profusely leaking rear oil seal of my Getrag 5 speed if I could only get a socket to fit the flange nut. Does anyone know the size? It appears to be just a tic bigger that 1 1/8" but smaller than 1 3/16". My calipers show it at 1.159”. This works out to about 29.44 mm for you metric folks. A 30 mm socket is too big. Yes, I made sure that the "keeper" for the nut was not in the way and I also spent time grinding on a cheap socket to make sure that it was not too big around on the outside. What am I missing?
