Need spanner socket for Allison M

[SKYCHENEY]

I'm replacing the output seal on my M20. The output shaft nut is torqued to 400 ft/lbs so I need a good 3/4 drive spanner socket to contact all four dogs. Here is the nut:

And here is what I need:

Anybody got one or know where I can pick one up?

Also, this is the port trans so I'm wondering is this RH or LH thread?

Its a Kent Moore tool maybe OTC makes one. I used a large punch and a hand sledge. After all that my output shaft seals still leak when sitting. Not a drop when running. My MH gears have 2 seals one facing out and one in I put them both in, Polished the coupling area where the seals run,still leak. If I had it to do over again I would try one of those "shaft restorer sleaves" on the couplings that give the seals a new running area.

Mine doesn't leak when sitting still, only when running. At least its clean oil.

Only one seal on the M. Hopefully this will do the trick.

I have a home made tool you can borrow.

I got what I recall were called 'speedy sleeves' from Arcadia when my starboard output shaft started to leak due to pitting. Less than $30 and it uses the same seal. 6000 miles and no leaks.

Thanks Dave. Maybe I'll just pick it up from you next month when I head that way.

Thanks to a HOF member, I was able to borrow a socket and complete the transmission output seal replacement. Not a bad job with the right tools.

New seal in place:

Output flange reinstalled with shaft spines sealed:

And reworked props ready to go back on:

Which nut goes on first on duo props???

Which nut goes on first on duo props???

Here is the order. Small prop, thin nut, then large prop, then thick nut.

Is this spanner nut reversed thread? (Clockwise to loosen). I did it once before and while it was very tight my 3 foot breaker was able to free it. It won't budge this time I was wondering if maybe it was backwards thread? My transmission is leaking from the trans housing and bearing cap cork gasket.

Mine was a standard right-hand thread.
