Mazda RX7 Hub Nut Sockets

chris.f, Mar 9, 3:23am
Anyone know who where I can get a35mm socket to remove the wheel bearing/hub nut. Have found kits that have every size but 35mm and also individual sockets in sizes other than 35mm. Prefer 1/2" drive. I'm based in Rotorua but happy to look further afield to get one of course.

I had a look on their website before I posted on here and couldn't see anything - did you have a part number off your invoice by any chance!

Might not be long enough to fit.
I'd suggest that the OP goes for a 6 point deep impact socket.Repco sell these:

At a guess probably not in stock to pick up on sat night or sunday, but a good soak in penetrating oil for a day or so before attempting this with a 1/2" drive breaker bar - if lacking a rattle gun - might not be a bad idea anyway.
I have gotten away with using 1/2" drive for car axle nuts - but only just when the car is more than a few years old.3/4" would be much more comfortable.

^ Go anywhere that has a range of Power Built - they should have one.
