I know somebody posted, it , I tried to search, but i'm in a hurry what was it again? I used a caliper and it read 51.39mm I thought it was 42, is it 52? I'm heading out to buy the socket

or is it 65...no,noo its 18 or it could be 34.24.38 hmmm. :popcorn:
Shouldn't this be a sticky? Or cannot people simply measure an exposed nut?
They could read the answers hidden in this thread! :horse:
Rear axle nut - 46mm or 1-13/16" 1 -13/16" socket available from most NAPA stores by itself for about $12 (you also need a 3/4" drive adaptor)

Front axel hex - 22mm or 7/8" 7/8" hex is normally the hex on the back of a 13/16" sparkplug socket - like the Craftsman #43321. Put this on a 3/8" drive extension bar BACKWARDS and you have a 22mm hex drive!

I made one using an old rounded out socket, M16 bolt with 24mm hex head, 15000€ welding machine and 1 million € horizontal milling centre.

I looked in my socket drawer :twofinger:
This thread was clever, I wonder which ADHD MOD did this?
Don't blame the Mods!

It;s Limey's fault - arrest him, he likes to be handcuffed anyway! :fingure:

This thread just payed for itself in new tools. Picked up a screw and BillT is now my new Idol. :wrench:
