JE: OD of the above socket is 21.8mm.
John Everett - Aurora, Illinois John: I just measured the I.D. of the crankarm thread to be about 20.8mm, so that's why that socket won't fit..... Machine off maybe 0.75 mm all around, though, and it'll work. Greg "dig my Craftsman sockets, but they aren't super-thin-walled" Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan
