Build a socket.

[jodo]

So there I was on a Sunday and couldn't find a 54 mm socket to fit my 80 spindles. My wife said, "Can you make one?" Well, I did and it turned out this way.

I sterted out by wrapping 1''x1/8" flat bar around a spindle nut tack welding it along the way.



I then used a knuckle cap from a dana 60 I had laying around for the socket body. Trimmed it to fit.

Very creative and excellent fab. You now have yourself a rock-solid hub socket
