I can't help because I don't have any junior cars to measure and they take a smaller nut than the seniors. Parts only says the junior axle nut thread size is 3/4-16 and no info on the wrench size needed. One thing to be aware of is stock Packard axle nuts are physically larger and take a larger socket than the typical same thread size nut you buy at the hardware store. I found this out when I had to replace those on the 47. IIRC, store bought nuts in the size I needed took 1/8 smaller socket.

Point being if someone does measure theirs for you before ordering the socket be sure to re-measure and confirm no one has replaced the nuts on your car with non stock items.
