engine and drivetrain Trans Collar Nut Socket (30Mm) Bargin

[Buckeye]

For trans output flange collar nut removal don't have to spend 30-$40 for special 30mm thin wall socket. Bought GEAR WRENCH 1/2" Drive 12-Point Deep Socket 30 mm for $11 from advance auto parts and it fit like glove. Didn't even have to grind OD for it to fit.

Good to know.   I think the more expensive ones (like BavAuto sells) are impact duty.

The GM axle nut socket's not much more- but it DOES need  a bit of grinding.

And it's an impact socket.

The Tekton 30mm 1/2" drive deep 6-point socket from Home Depot and maybe other sources fits the 4-speed trans output shaft nut without grinding.  Item number is SHD23130, $10.00.  I ordered online from the Home Depot website, paid with PayPal and had the socket shipped free to my local store for me to pick up.  No Home Depot stores anywhere in my state stocked the socket.  My online order arrived in 2 days.  Are all 5-speed output nuts also 30mm?

yes 5 speed nuts are the same, this socket also fits the frt crank nut and the pinion nut   As far as needed an impact socket, not really necessary unless you are doing this sort of work on a daily basis     Think about it, how many times are you actually going to use this socket??

If you are using a impact wrench always use a impact rated socket  they are softer and will not explode if it breaks
