View Full Version : TOOL NEEDED ASAP: Axle nut socket.....

I'm looking to borrow (for an hour or two) a 12-point axle nut socket for a rear axle nut on a `03 Matrix. If I had to guess the size is 32mm only because my 6-point 32mm seems to line up the best. The largest 12-point socket I have is 24mm and I'm not ready to buy an entire set just for this one nut.....
If you have one that I could use it would be much appreciated.....

Those are all 6-point sockets which I already have; this one is a 12-pointer.....

I had a 6 pointer when trying to get the axle nut off a an 03 Scion TC and thought it was too fat to fit. Low and behold, a few smashes with a hammer and it went over the nut. That car had a weird lip on the hub around the nut.
Same type of thing?

12. Just pound the socket on until it bottoms out. It will hold.

I know that can be done but I'd rather not chew up half the points, I feel naughty doing things like that......:durr
