54 mm deep socket

TexLexican · Jun 5, 2022

Hello guys/gals. Local to Cibolo. Anyone have luck finding axle nut sockets? Thought I found one at Napa, but it isn’t a deep socket. Amazon is out or the description is misleading where it’s actually a 55 mm. My last option is to ask a local mechanic or if I can borrow from any of y’all then I’ll buy beer. Thanks.

Hey Zach, I actually fell victim to the 55mm socket advertised as a 54, anyways I have one and it works fine, not ideal but gets the job done, you’re not putting that much torque on them.

If you get in a bind and want to borrow my 55mm my shop is over off of FM 1518, just north of I-10. I’ll need it this week, maybe Thursday or Friday so before or after would be fine. 305-916-1370…if you need it shoot me a text.

Thanks for reaching out, I’ve got your number saved. I’ll definitely reach out here in the next few weeks since I’m still waiting on some parts to come in.

Have a 2 1/8" socket I've previously used on my 100 and most recently on my 80 for the birfs. Also have a 54mm one I plan on modifying for my rear axles.
Located by the rim if that's closer.

You guilted me into buying the appropriate 54mm socket today when my snap-on guy stopped by….requires a 3/4 - 1/2 adapter though FYI

What is weird is the OEM SST 09607-60020 that I have in my tool box says 55 on it but it appears to match up with my aftermarket 54mm. I don't remember how I got these either (I collect too much stuff) but if you want the black 54mm...it is yours but I am pretty far from Cibolo.
