Imperial socket required

[Gordy1]

Does anyone know a good tool distributor, I require a socket to change some rowcrops wheels, I am looking for a 1 1/8th inch socket with 1 inch drive, have seen a couple but for silly money probably only use that size couple of times then it will lay around the workshop for months on end.

Yep, but it's a big one - the 1/2" drive one is only £7.39. Don't forget that inch drive isn't so popular these days, it's imperial & it's a one off.

They must be tight if a 29mm won't boss it?
Am I the only one with 4 3/4" socket sets of various vintage?

 

[Mursal]

29mm 6 sided might get you away, as 1" 1/8 is 28.6mm ?

If your going to give it grief at the wheels, best go for a black socket rather than chrome.

Set with 29mm in it

Inch socket and a lump hammer

Got 1 1/8 in 3/4 drive here. Might be cheaper to buy an adapter for 1”” to 3/4

Thanks for all your replies fellas, have got 1 1/8 socket & 1" to 3/4 adapter also a torque multiplier the problem is the adapter brings the multiplier out to far so that the lug? Does not anchor onto the next stud so the whole multiplier turns, tried holding it with a crow bar but it's to powerful to hold it, never seen such tight wheel nuts before can't think what they were put on with!!, it has already broken two sockets using 4' extension tube on the bar & lowering a loader on to the extension.... wouldn't budge just broke the sockets, will have to find something else to wedge it.

Can you not slip a pipe over the torque multiplier and let it come against the ground and self anchor?

MMM, do check they undo the way your turning them, LH threads have caught many out, and the number is increasing these days as they are much less used.

Your problem is the 4" extension. Get a breaker bar with a flexible head to get the torque where its needed.

A neighbour had the same draper 3/4" socket set as mine and broke a socket(using an extension and 6' of scaffold pipe) tring to get a wheel nut off.He rung up wanting to borrow a socket.So rather than let him break mine a went down and cracked the remainder of in no time.

Those breaker bars do live up to their name! Broke three 3/4 ones removing a friends truck wheels! Multiplier solved the problem.

 

[sawdust]

And if you can give the nuts a crack with the hammer on the flats first too, also helps.

Air hammer massage does indeed.

Good idea, will try that if a can find a length of pipe to fit over it.

Some heat, save wringing them.

I could never get on with them either, much prefer a T bar.

Are you absolutely certain it's not a left hand thread ?
