My wife works at a NAPA/Mack truck parts store, they have the thin walled socket you need. If you have a big truck parts store there try them.

Re: PULL FLY WHEEL

I didn't figure a NAPA alone would have it. It's going to take a Big truck parts store, MACK, Peterbuilt, Kenworth, etc.., that kind of parts place will have it,, if you can't borrow one - I know that's a lot cheaper.

Re: PULL FLY WHEEL

Here's where thing's can get expensive for the do'it youself mechanic, A 1-7/16 socket comes in 3/4 in. drive. For most people this mean's a 3/4 - 1/2 in. reducer. When going above 1/2 in. drive, these socket's can get exspensive. I know this won't be much help to a lot of you, but here is how I did it. I got a 1-7/16 craftsman socket with reducer, I cut it down to 1.925 in diameter, for a lenght of .750 from the face of the socket. This was not a problem for me as I have a lathe. This is a hard guestion to answer for the person who would have only ocassional use for a tool like this. The socket, and reducer, unless you have a 3/4 in. breaker bar will probably run in the $50.00 range. Maybe I should go into the socket alteration work.Unless you have one, add the price of the breaker bar, plus the price of a torgue wrench to put that nut back on. Unless you are going to do a lot of work with your engine, I know these cost's are hard to justify.

Just for the heck of it, I checked my Snap-On catalog from 1997. A 1-7/16 socket in 1/2 in. drive list's for $ 31.50, but they have probably went down.

Re: PULL FLY WHEEL

If you've got a vocational school around there, they'd turn one down for ya for free. Well, maybe not free but something affordable.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty

Re: PULL FLY WHEEL

grind it down on a bench grinder. put a screw driver though it and hold both ends of the screw driver. the socket will spin on the screw driver and grind it pretty true. i know it sound pretty shade tree mechanicish but it works i have dont it a few times. better then spending 30 buxs on a socket u wont use all that much.

Re: PULL FLY WHEEL

hello<br /> my socket is a proto 1-7/16ths. works fine with no mods. course its is rather old but I paid about 22 dollars for it. I guess I could play about at work and measure the wall thickness or get you the part #.<br /> 100 bucks is about right.<br /> I grew up in grand bay, my mother still lives in mobile and I graduated from Murphy <br /> <br />good luck and keep posting
