The size of the nut inside the transmission output flange is 1 5/16in.
This is not a common socket in 1/2in. drive, so you may have to do as I did
and buy it in 3/4in. and use a 1/2in. to 3/4in adaptor. You may be
interested to learn it is also the size of the rear wheel hub nut and the
crank pulley nut. (that is if we are talking MGB!).
>Also whall I am there should i replace anything else?
Assuming you are doing this with the tranny in the car, you cannot get at
much else. If the tranny is out, then replace the input shaft oil seal.
YMMV, etc etc.
