- If you live in the USA (or Canada) I think you'll find the "huge sprocket" is only about $5 at Home Depot (Husky) , Sears (Craftsman), etc. That's not really that much is it? Remember, it's usually

- Let me see, how can I put this? "No." As Pete says, they're not expensive. I'd suggest getting a whole set of deep pocket sockets that will include the one you need -- you will use them constantly.

- Get the socket. You can buy individual large sockets cheaply at any full service ACE hardware store. I don't know the size off hand but maybe some one else does. Brian Sanborn 62 TR4 CT16260L-O - Gr

- If there's one in your area, check out your local Harbor Freight store. Mine sells single impact sockets for $1 - $2 each. Of course, you won't be using them with an impact tool, but they work just
