'i have a walkthrough ut I have never done it before and I need the big socket, this is on my daily driver so I don't want to mess it up I have a couple of days that I can do it if anyone around new castle wants to help out. I can buy the beer :) I am busy this weekend with the carbondale mountain fair but can do some nights after that or the next weekend.
thnx in advance for any offers to help
They are not hard, you should have no trouble.

A 2-1/8" socket is pretty easy to find and works fine.

And also do both sides while you are at it.

Sears usually has them in stock ... If you're looking at a parts store, it might be in metric - 54 mm

Did you look for the 2-1/8"?
You're only applying something like 40 ft-lbs ... never had any problems with the "inch" version.

Probably - for $2.99 what do you have to lose?
It should. Something thin walled like that is what i used on my old truck.
