96 front lock nut tool

I need this thing. I called ford and they said to chase down a snapon truck!



I am trying to torque down the lock nut for the front bearings to the specified 50ft/lbs to seat the new bearings I just installed.


Anyone know where I can get this thing? It seems the 96 is different than the previous broncos.


Thanx

Better stores such as Pep-Boys, or online retailers should have them. BTW, they are different between manual and auto hubs.
