IIRC, it's not a hex socket; it's a square. It might even be 3/8ths drive...

...but yeah, find a junkyard. There are plenty of wrecked Dakotas/Durangos.

I have my spare on my truck and sad to say I have used it a time or two, mainly when off roading. I've torn up a tire cause I caught a sharp rock and shredded it.

I agree with redragtop. Plus I don't have the time to wait for some one to show up to fix flat for me.
