extra deep sockets for rear wheels?

KWZ · 11-14-2012, 01:24 PM

To remove and mount the rear wheels, what exactly are you guys using? It looks like a standard deep socket is not enough to provide adequate clearance between a breaker bar or torque wrench and the rear fender and wheel. Sorry guys ... I'm a tool noob.

I use an extension adapter about 2-3"

These work great and have an extension.

I just picked up a 2-1/2" extension and that plus a 21 mm deep socket gives me enough clearance now.
