Thanks for the reply. If I would have known Marlin had the socket I would have ordered it through them, but I already ordered it through some one else. When I get closer to the project of turning the rear end into a full floater (for flat towing) I will order all the other stuff; bearings, tools, seals, etc. from Marlin crawler. There price on the 54mm socket is also lower then any body I have priced it through too. thanks for the help I am sure I will have more questions in the future.
