Default Replacing Front Driveshaft question

Hello all,
Need some help and I know that many of you have experience with this. I am replacing the front driveshaft on my JK with a Coast driveshaft.
What size socket do I use for the flange nut on the transfer case and the flange nut on the front axle?
I searched, but did not find anything concrete.
Thanks for the help.
Steve

Thanks for the response.
I saw the thread, but on post 13, someone replied that the 35mm didn't work and it required a 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 socket.
Anyone else out there know for sure what size socket that I will need? Not sure if it is specific to a Rubi.
Thanks,
Steve

Good catch. 35mm is all I've ever seen posted.

having just had this issue, I can confirm that 1 1/4 will fit. I had to stop in the middle and go buy one.
