Title: Wrench for the trans axle, who sells these?
Post by: cal44 on Sunday,November 04, 2012, 03:17:54 PM

I tried contacting a fellow on Europa Central that sold (I thought) these,  no response.

Thanks,

Mike I recall other members making them out of a piece of 2" PVC and it seemed to work well. If they are using PVC then that would imply to me that the nut does not have to be very tight. I also found that someone have used a modified spline socket for a GMC truck.  :confused: Apparently readily avail at the auto parts store.
