Oh so they last 20k miles instead of 10k haha

 

35mm socket.....

When I changed my front diff bushing, I borrowed one from Vatozone.
I would like to own one to keep in the truck. Anyone know if harbor freight has one or where the best place to get one might be?

 

Assuming you don't mind a 3/4" to 1/2" (if thats what you are carrying) adapter and an impact socket Harbor freight carries them in this set

 

I bought mine at vatozone

 

how much did they get for it Rebecca?
So far, I like the socket set idea for $40 as I think I heard some aftermarket axle nuts are 36mm

 

When my tire blew out last weekend a friend was following and while I was getting the truck jacked up and taking the blown tire off to put the spare on my friend (who's a guy) was like "don't you have roadside assistance?" "man you're handy." What's wrong with my generation who can't even change a freakin tire?!

 

did you pull his man card?

 

Mine was $15-$20 IIRC.

 

In fairness to him, changing a tire gets your hands dirty and you could scrape a knuckle when your hand slips off the lug wrench. It would be totally embarrassing to soil a perfectly good Lacoste polo.

 

Those other sizes are pretty useless in the kit, maybe for pressing a bearing or something, but I doubt they would fit anything else on the truck.

I bought a single socket at NAPA that was specifically sold as an axle socket for like $8. There's been a few times I've needed 30 and 32mm sockets before, but those things wouldn't come up on a trail repair. The other sizes in that kit I agree are worthless.

 

entitlement...

 

I watched three chicks one day while I was up at school stand there watching a guy change a tire on their car for them. I wanted to walk over and smack them in the back of the heads.

 

Women maybe get a pass in my book, at least for the general population, but guys?! I'll bet of all the people my age (29) and below where I work maybe only 10% have changed their own oil in a vehicle before.

 

Meh, women don't even get a pass in my book. If you are going to operate a vehicle on a daily basis you SHOULD know how to change a tire regardless of who you are. It's dead simple.

 

When my trailer tire blew on the way up here to CO I would have changed it myself had I had a spare tire. But nope, had to wait an hour and half for RS. Man I was so pissed. I could have changed it in 5 minutes. Any guy that doesn't change his own blown tire, when he has the ability to, should be kicked in his mangina.
