- When you say "too thick" do you mean the outside diameter won't go in the wire wheel hub? Seems like impact and possibly 3/4" drive sockets may be like that and you have to get a 'thinwall' 1 5/16".

- I think I heard on this list that snap-on ones work as well. Craftsman ones do not though IIRC. -- Andrew

- Perhaps I should have said that the OD of mine is 1.73" and fits fine, but the ID of the hub is a better measurement when you are looking for a socket to fit. I keep meaning to measure the ID of my h

- I bought a Snap-On 1-5/16" for this job when I found my standard sockets wouldn't fit. That was some years ago, and I almost have the socket paid off. ;-) The Snap-On socket I bought measures 1.738"

- Craftsman ones do not though IIRC. <<<snip>>> The new ones may not, but the old ones, 70s and earlier, should. Craftsman beefed up all of their tools in the 80s probably to cut guarentee replacement

- Buy a cheap socket and turn it down. If you buy a new socket and turn it down, you lose the warranty anyway. By turn it down, I think you could do that with a bench grinder if you are careful.

- Started on a brake job for my "C" today and wanted to remove everything including the backing plate for cleaning and painting. I thought that I had a socket to remove the hub nut, since I had removed

- Yeah, the trick is you need to find a thinwall 1-5/16. Some are thinner than others. You could turn yours down on a lathe, if you had one. Probably just take yours around to various hardware stores,
