I did it because I needed the tool at the time and it took about 3 minutes to make it.RonH said:Great deal on the tool the original poster put the link to. Why fool with 1/2" bolts, spark plug sockets, 1/2" couplers ect, if for basically the same price you can get the correct tool for the job?

Worked Perfectly. Needed it right now and could not find a 19mm hex at any local hardware stores. The 1/2" threaded coupler I picked up from ACE was too sloppy in the axle bolt, but the spark plug socket fit like a glove. Thanks for this tip.Shipwreck said:I used the back of a spark plug socket that fit just well.
2nd that. The socket I use had absolutely no other use or need. I happen to have it and now it is a S10 front wheel shaft removal tool.BaldKnob said:Why stress over needing another tool if the sparkplug socket fits the front axle??? Less crap to carry with you.
