What size wrench do I need to adjust the carrier bearing preload on a Chrysler 8-1/4" rear? I see where some have just jammed a couple nuts on a piece of all-thread and used this, I just never see a size mentioned.

It's the same size as your front hub axle nut. 36 MM. 'matter of fact, when people make their own adjusters, they commonly use old axle nuts. If you're making one, do yourself a HUGE favor and make 2. They are SO much easier to adjust when you don't have to pull it out of one side and stick it in the other for each adjustment.
