10.25 Sterling axle nut tool - $12.99

[Joe Mc]

Just came back from Checker/ O'Reilly auto parts, they have the spindle nut wrench on sale for $12.99, part number 648476. They usually want $26, napa wants $55.

What a great time for my truck to lose an axle seal.

Isn't it just like an 1.25" socket? Did mine the other day...truck doesn't mark it's territory anymore but at least I can park in the driveway.

I paid $49.95 just a month or two ago.

Ya me too, I bought one that your suppose to turn around and use on the front. Well, it doesn't fit the dana 60, it's to small. So now I have to go out and buy one for the front before I do any work on it.

I second that.

On the Sterling it is a 4 prong with an inner spindle shaft. A standard socket won't do anything.

Exactly, and given the torque procedure , doing it with out the proper tool is asking for problems, not to mention the axle seal you might of just replaced leaking due to play in the bearings.

My old seals didn't mark the driveway, they just coated some nice brake pads with grease. Now I am replacing shoes and seals, maybe the bearings. At $32 each I don't want to ruin these seals.
