Reply to "Really inexpensive rear axle socket removal tool"

I went ahead and made one of these. I followed Cory's instructions and used a 1.25" impact socket along with 3/16" key stock. The key stock was slightly wider than the slots on my axle nuts so I ground it to fit. I then used wire to hold the key stock in place to both the socket and the nut, and then tack welded it with TIG, and finished the welds. The tool fits like a glove on my axle nuts. Within a couple of days I plan to put it to the test by applying torque to the nuts. I will report back with the outcome.
