I needed a 1-5/16" socket for my Pitman nut and easiest out was a trip to Horror Fright. Not like me to buy off shore junk, but this Jumbo sized socket kit with case will only get used once in a blue moon. The 3/4" drive ratchet, you would think, would be beefy, but you can spin past the teeth by hand with a socket on it. A great way to bash your knuckles when it skips teeth under force. I have to take it back. The casting on the sockets is so 'China looking' the center holes are not on center. I better straighten up to my senses before I walk into a Toyota or Kia dealer or somthing. I did get the nut off with the 3/4" breaker bar instead. I'm replacing the intermediate shaft and box now, but there is more slop in the new refirbed upper CV ball setup than the old one I took out so I'm going to put the old one on the new shaft. First have to clean an synpower the old one. Was packed with Mobile one from when I did it after just getting the coach (was really dirty when I bought it with bad boot) and I had no bind, so I think it will be fine.
