Autohub-Spindle nut socket
Ive looked everywhere and been to all but one parts store in town, Im looking for the right socket to remove the spindle nut on my wifes 94 4x4 Explorer w/autohubs its got the 12 sided nut from the factory smaller then the F-150/Bronco spindle nut you know the one, on all the autohub models? Where in the world can I find this specialty socket?
The F-150/Bronco socket is a 2-1/2" 12 sided socket, the explorers is maby a 2-1/4 im guessing. It is smaller then the F-150/Bronco socket i know cause I got one.
I Hate having my trucks down for something simple/stupid!!!

It's a 2 3/8" rounded hex.
Take a look at http://www.carsupplies-1.com/tools/ and go to Sockets-Axle-Nut and then look for Explorer or try http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/sh...AT027_pg16.htm

I bought my auto-hub socket from Napa.
And getting the right tool seems to me to be the most irritating part. Parts houses will sell you a part, but have no idea where to get the tool needed to get it on/off. Sure can be irritating.
