I believe that Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters is selling one for $16.50, I will be buying one very shortly.

They want $12 for shipping to Sacramento.
I think it get's too expensive.

How much did you pay for yours?

snap on truck, less than $20, but 3/4"
whole thread on this about a year ago
 
OTC brand socket at Napa for $13.95, 1/2" drive.

Harbor Freight, has one for $15.00-cheap s***ty quality. I got mine from Sears for $20


How much quality you need in a socket that gets used at a max of 48 ft/lbs? I got mine from Harbor Freight for $2 IIRC out of the random socket bucket. Works fine.

I guess quality is not a huge thing, but you still get what you pay for.
 
I know that I am resurfacing an old thread, but I would like to get a 1/2 drive socket for my wheel bearings. Based on the link that Sandcruiser posted, do I need to get a 54mm? Is that correct?

I went to Napa and asked and IIRC the biggest they had was 32 or 33mm. Anyone have a product number for Napa?

Also tried looking on the Sears website and didn't fine anything that big. Product number?

I'd prefer to buy local since I will be needing it in a few days.
 
I have seen them in person at Sears and OSH besides SnapOn

keep in mind that there are clearances issues if you go with a weird brand (see thread on that)

Use this one

I have the same one listed on teh outfitting FAQ. The one at the top of the thread is good to.
 
the Sears is considerably stronger than the SnapOn I got, but probably doesn't matter for this kind of job...

I really appreciate the input and don't want to buy the wrong thing, but I am getting more confused by the minute. What size do I need to get (54mm, 2 1/8, or 2 3/32)?

Also where is the Outfitting FAQ? Is that in the Technical Links section?

Thanks again,

Brian


I use the 2 1/8 size works for me, as far as the FAQ go to the top of the Outfitting forum and you'll see it.
 
Sears 3/4" drive 2 1/8" socket
$18
Adapter to 1/2" drive
$2

Lifetime warranty and good quality
-Priceless.
 
The correct one, 54mm from OTC is part number 1950M, NAPA can order it. The 2-1/8" will work but is sloppy, the 2-3/32" is closer to the correct size.
 
or you can buy the official toyota part from dan when you order your knuckle parts. $22 IIRC but the shipping is free and you know the guy whose dogs you are feeding.
