Removal. Though did lose previous socket that was used to last install. Bought new Performance Tool w83243 2 1/2 socket was too small to fit.

Suggest you contact Jowett about this.

Justa thought did you actually measure across the flats?

Later production runs of not only the Performance Tool Socket, but a few other brands, have the 2 1/2” socket slightly redesigned… they shrunk it down a hair. Just enough to create fitment issues. It’s part the reason I have not produced another batch.
Send me a message jowett@jowettperformance.com, I’ll try to track down the proper socket.

Just sent you an email for help. I thought maybe a fluke and/or hoping for old stock but have now tried three Performance branded and 1 OTC branded and still no luck.
The sockets are a pain in the butt. I tried the Performance Tool W83243, and confirmed that it is just a hair too small to fit. I'm trying the OTC 1904 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HPLTB2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Which is 2-9/16". Hopefully it fits, I'll update when I get it in.

2-9/16" works with just enough slop to make locating easier, but man this thing is twice the weight of the W83243. It's designed for a 3/4" square drive, so I'm pretty sure you could twist the entire engine block right out of the truck. Might look for another in this size but lighter duty, probably in 1/2" drive?
