I did my own on a 1998 K1500 (same set up as yours) the nut is a 1 5/16" . It is not all that easy to get at , you will need a combo wrench, socket will be difficult to use, unless you remove steering gear.The front plastic guard plate swings down for access when u remove the two 3/8 bolts. I could not get mine off with a pitman arm puller (I even snapped the puller shaft trying) I had to cut mine off with a die grinder, carefully to not cut into splined shaft.Hopefully yours is not this difficult. Too bad it's not just the idler, that is much easier.
