Really newb question, sorry. I was going to order from TG or Wab, but I am not able to drive my truck and dont feel like waiting a week for it to ship. I amd going to sears tomorrow to see what they have. But will something like this 12 point work or do I need the hex style? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...1&blockType=G1

I got mine at NAPA, 12pt. it fit and was cheaper then any other local store options. Stay away from the impact socket style, they are too thick to fit.

I got a six point 3/4" drive 2 1/8" crafstman socket for the shop and what I sell for the trail as it's 3/8" drive.

Much better than a screwdriver.

Yeah I would order yours wab. But my pads and rotors are shot. Can't put the pads back on so my truck is up on jack stands right now. Napa had one for 62 dollars. I'm hoping I can find one at sears for cheaper
