54mm socket needed!
Hi guys, I took off tomorrow hoping that the local Auto Zone would have a 54mm socket for rent or for sale so I can finally get my Brembo/Performance Friction/inner outer wheel bearing job going but I guess I was wrong! Does any one know where I should look locally for a socket this large? Does any one have one I can borrow “Ill pay 2 way shipping"? I would hate to buy one, I know I won’t need it again for years but if I have to I guess I will! Does any one know of any other way to get the hubs off? I mean any other tools that I may have handy; I need to find out before I start pulling things apart! Thanks again, Matt. Oh what size in inches would this equate to, I cant think right now

I think the manuals cause less wear on the cv's......much less wear on a lifted IFS for sure. http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/maintenance/front_end/

There is also the slight gain in power. I notice it when I have the hubs locked on my '85, there is a noticable power drop due to the frictional losses of the front end components turning.

Knuckle Service Tools
We get lots of calls asking where to get the special tools needed to service Toyota knuckles. With some searching we found these high quality service tools. The scale allows you to measure the knuckle shim preload. To use: remove tie rod, attach the scale to the steering arm. Then adjust the shims until it takes 12-15lbs of force to rotate knuckle.
Snap-On 54mm Hub Socket $24.99
Knuckle Pull Scale $9.99
Found these at Marlin Crawler Website

SEARS Craftsman 2 1/8" socket w/ 3/4" to 1/2" adapter so it will fit on a 1/2" drive ratchet $30
If you got manual hubs and need it now, just BUY one, you'll need it again.
54 mm = 2.125984252" = 2 1/8"

[[ a hammer and a screwdriver works real well on a torque wrench]]
EggZactly! Torque wrench, breaker bar, monkey wrench, all the same... LOL. You guys just can't take a joke...
