‘86 Auto hub help

[Gijotoole]

Ladies and gents,
This is my first post and it is in desperation. I have an ‘86 B2 with the monster 2.9 that everybody envies. I had a front wheel wobble (among other things) and found the spindle bearing adjustment nut cracked on my auto hubs. I can’t find a part to replace it but need to get the vehicle moving again - can I use the stack of parts from a manual hub to get the spindle/bearing stack together until I find the mystery nut? I have the auto 4wd option, if that makes a lick of difference. Local shops have the manual guts, but not the auto guys, which I believe this is peculiar to.

Help me Obi-Wan..

So autozone markets the piece as a Dorman Help spindle lock nut. It’s a 1-5/8”x16 threaded flange nut with the milling for the key (included). I’ll let the community know if it’s the right thing. The p# is 13984.

Nope. It’s for the d30 (d35?) front axle, not the d28. Crap. Part for the d28 is fomoco #E3tz3n105a and it’s discontinued. Best netball is eBay or junkyard because no dealerships in all of the southeastern US carries it.
