That nut is 30 millimeter. My Kobalt socket fits just perfect inside the flange. I usually hit it with my electric impact wrench to put it on. It usually is not enough to take it off though.

To take it off I usually put it in 4x4, use a pipe wrench to holt the front yoke and put that under a car tire. I then jump on the breaker bar thats being used to remove the rear output nut.

I have no idea what to torque it too. I just make it good and tight.

It is also a good time to replace the seal thats there as it is cheap preventative maintenance.

if they are both 5-speeds it should be no prob. the prob would be the front drive shaft being to short, but youll find out when you put it in. get that flang nut as tight as you can. good luck.
