Default Re: 5 spline wheel lugs and socket

Taz: problem is they are so round, the six point sockets are either too big or too small, even with a hammer. I tried a 5/8 12 point, just hammering it on. The first one stripped the cheapo socket. So I got a better socket and the head on the lug started deforming. Using a six point, 11/16 and 17 mm are too big, and 5/8 is too small.

I think the Snap on tool only fits sizes close to 13/16 and 3/4 (says two lips). Will try one of the universial kits like I posted in my last post. I may drill one out.
