Could it be metric? Parts book gives a 5/16 x 24 with lockwasher as Howard said. https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/partslist/viewgroup.php?partslist=1948-1954&groupnumber=9.1001&PlateNumber=86&cat=20#resultanchor I don't know what anyone could possibly use that's metric Posted on: 4/23 10:49

I got about a third of the nut on and it just stopped like it was trying to cross thread. I'll try cleaning them up tonight and trying again. Posted on: 4/23 11:25

I always clean with a brass brush and a little brake cleaner first to remove any thread gunk that can emulate a cross thread. Posted on: 4/23 16:23
