WTB: 22 mm Allen Socket

**markclark57** · 02-28-2013, 12:11 AM

Looking for a 22 mm Allen Socket that won't break the bank.

That's the one for the front axle. My former Dark Side tire mechanic is gone. I have everything to do the job myself except for the Allen Socket.

I have one and it's huge and heavy. Might be expensive to ship?

I have one, it's not a socket, though - it's a piece of 22mm hex barstock about 3" long. You would need to insert it into a 22mm socket. If you want it, it's yours.

If you have a 13/16 spark plug socket that can be used. Turn the socket around and use the allen end and put the extension through the the inside of the socket.

Hmmm, looks like somthing I'll have to make. I think last time I used an old chrome lug nut I had lying around.

Check out Harbour Freight, they probably have one at a good price.

dshelly · 02-28-2013, 10:41 AM

Nope, I have a set from them. They only go to 17mm.

get a bolt with a 22mm head and weld a nut on to it .
I have a half dozen of these of different sizes. they work great

That's what I've done as well.

I actually have one made up using JB-Weld and it works fine too.

Thanks to all for the quick and abundant response.

A 2 inch long piece of 7/8th's hex bar and a 7/8th's socket is what I use.
