Quick 8.25 Gear Install Question... Help

[armybuck041]

Hey guys,

I'm doing a 4.56 and Detroit install for a buddy with a 98 XJ Sport with the 29 Spline 8.25 rear.

I have done gear installs on both HP and LP Dana 30's, and TJ and XJ D44's, but never an 8.25.

I've got almost all of the info to carry on with this except for one big thing:

What is the internal size of the Carrier Bearing Preload Adjusters?

I need to know this so I can buy the correct Nuts to fit it and make a tool to adjust the Backlash. Everywhere I look does not give me this info.

Thanks

Scotty

PS, for those so inclined, this is an excellent site for 8.25 info:

I seem to remember 36mm.

Thanks man....

Much appreciated. So in theory, I could use a Hub Nut to do this...
