I was woundering where does one get a 36mm socket to remove that monstrous nut on the drive axle?

 

Most auto parts chains (Pep Boys, Autozone, Advance Auto) will have them.

 

Or Sears. maybe even hardware stores, Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, etc. Really, anywhere that sells hand tools. If you still have no luck, Craftsman.com.

 

Go to Autozone, Advance Auto, etc first and try to get their borrow/rental tool. Silly to buy that expensive socket if you'll just use it once or twice.

exactly, or you could buy and return them when your done

 

you best bet will be an autoparts store. places like sears, home depot and other places like that rarely carry metric sized sockets...let alone a 36mm one. you go to a store like that and say you need a 36mm impact socket and they will look at you like your a retard.

 

got my 36mm socket at Sears...

 

how much dude?

 

**** was like $5-10, cant really recall I did it a few months ago, the price of the 250ft-lb torque wrench made it look like nothing.

 

Should be 6.99.
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/searc...=searchresults for the part number. Don't ask them just go get it.

 

shoud be no more than $3.50 at auto zone.

 

Sears doesnt have the deep one any more, bought mine at B&B auto for 10$
nut came off without any probs Whoopeee!

 

I never needed the deep one, and if you manage to break it with an impact wrench or by jumping on a breaker bar, they'll give you a new one, no questions asked. Anyway, if you buy one make sure you get the lifetime replacement warranty, $7 once is better that $3 3 times.
