SOS, need toyota hub socket

[F0X3]

My family and I are traveling through Utah and our truck borke down. I need to replace some wheel bearings but don't have a hub socket. If there is anyone here in Provo (anywhere) that has a hub socket that I can barrow please let me know. Call 208-409-3299

thanks

I have a couple dozen in Sandy... 54mm, 76-97' Land Cruisers & solid axle mini trucks/4Runners. If you can't get to Sandy, I could likely drum up a customer in Utah County that I know has one... LMK

Things didn't work out with cruiseroutfit so if anyone has one please let me know. I can drive to pick it up so let me know even if you are not in Provo. it's the 54mm hub socket.

kinda ghetto, but can you get it off with a hammer and screwdriver?

Ghetto, yeah, but it works. I STILL don't own one for a Dana 60. *shrug*

Autozone has these...

I'll second the hammer and chisle/screwdriver, those nuts should be less than (I think) 20 foot pound and should come off easy, I've used this method many times with great sucess. Also, a large pare of channel lock pliers usually does the trick too.

You can get them off with a hammer/punch/drift, but you can't properly set the preload on or tighten to spec (they are a double spindle nut design) without the socket IMO. I've seen way too many messed up wheel bearings, spindles and hubs to not spend the $16 on a socket

While AutoZone, etc has many varieties of axle/spindle sockets, they've never had a thin-walled 54mm, you can grind down a $30 Crafstman one, or just buy the one made for it.

I'm around if your interested still... give me a call 8015183837

touche, on the accurate retorque pretty hard to be sure with a hammer.

thanks to everyone that helped and offered advice. We ended up using the hammer and chisel method and it worked pretty well. We only have 200 more miles to go so with fresh bearings we should be all set. Thanks again and happy holidays
