July 14, 201014 yr comment_325400 14mm? your talking about the little drive lines going to each rear wheel right? i just had to take my passenger one off on my 280z and im almost positive they were 14mm for the bolt and nut. EDIT: im a idiot and didnt realise your were asking what size as in how long and thick they are, not the metric size of the wrench end Edited July 14, 201014 yr by Shade133 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36488-stub-axle/#findComment-325400 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 14, 201014 yr comment_325409 Get the 280ZX Turbo nuts. They are the same thread and pitch but don't need to be peened so if you take them off again you don't have to grind on them.

July 15, 201014 yr comment_325454 The stub axles threads are 20 x 1.5. Get the nut from the 280zx as Jon indicates. There should be no problem getting them Nissan.
