I've got a 91 with PS that I'm doing the full manual conversion on. I have the rack out of the car but none of my crescent wrenches open large enough to get that damn off in order to get the yoke out as seen here:

I have a 36mm socket which is too small, but what farking size is that thing so when I go to the store I have a range I can make work. Obviously that is not my rack but I need a wrench <that> size.
Thanks,
Greer

a 15" crescent wrench did the job just fine. I think the 12" one I had didn't open to a full 1.5" as advertised. One curious thing is that unlike the photos I've seen, the lock nut and "cover" came out as one piece. seems like its a single unit on mine, a bit confusing. Anyone else run across this?
