54 mm Socket for 80 series knuckles

[Chase fj80]

I'm aiming to rebuild my knuckles in preparations for a west coast road trip but I am finding it difficult and expensive to locate a 54 mm socket. I was wondering if anyone here has a socket they wouldn't mind lending for a couple of days so I can get this done and my rig back on the road.

I am located in Victoria.

Would it be the same as a ‘77 Fj40?

I have one. Text me.

I’m not 100% sure, 54mm or 2 1/8 both work.

I bought a few some years ago for cheap at princess auto. If you're looking to have your own you could check there.

Make sure the body on the socket is thin enough, a standard socket in that size won't fit.

UPDATE: In case anyone cares, I saw a whole rack of knuckle sockets of various sizes at Lordco Nanaimo downtown yesterday.

A hub socket is an essential part of any cruiser tool kit.

If you plan to keep your cruiser for more than the rest of the week, just go buy one.

You’re looking at a $20-30 investment.

That’d be my advice.
