Reply to "Axle Nut Socket"

Here is the home made one we've been using. It was made from a 1-11/16" 3/4" drive socket.

Here (http://pantera.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7350045562/m/8731056356) is how we held the axle assembly while loosening the axle nut, YMMV.

Holding the axle is only part of the battle, keeping the socket on the nut is the other part. The 2x4 enabled us to put down pressure on the socket, otherwise it just pops up and disengages. Again, YMMV, but somehow you'll have to do the same.

I suppose an impact wrench would also work for the loosening, though it may shear off the little fingers if you pound away for too long.

Good luck.
