My theory is you won't find it until you buy a new one. I lost my 1/2 drive
11/16 socket once. I knew it would turn up so I used a box wrench or open
end for a year refusing to buy a new socket. Finialy after bringing my coup
back from Bonneville and wanting to pull the engine I had to buy a new
socket to unbolt the motor mounts. Now me and my new 11/16 are under the car
and there on the first nut is my old 11/16 where it sat since installing the
motor. Rich Fox
