Anyone have a source for the tool needed to adjust the tranny bands. The square 5/16. I looked everywhere and no luck.

 

Check with Snap On. Cost more to have it shipped but it was the only place I found that had them.

 

i made one at work, punched out a piece of 1/4 in plate with a 5/16 square punch on an iron worker then welded it to a socket kinda redneck i know but it works

 

I ordered mine at Napa, $6.24, part number NB810 on 05/09/06.

 

I asked napa and they looked at me like I had 2 heads. Didnt look like last I saw.

 

I am sure in varies by store
but the local Sears hardware section
is still carrying 8 point sockets
in both English and Metric sizes
including 5/16

These are in the replacement sockets rack

Many of the Sears clerks probably don't know
that an 8 point socket is for square heads

 

i didn't know it either. i don't think i've ever seen an 8 pt socket.

 

I think I have a couple in those sizes from a Craftsman set I bought 20 years ago.

 

eight points allows a square head to fit two different ways

If you purchase an eight point socket in size 1/2 inch
you can check one torque wrench against another for accuracy

 

But how do you know which one is accurate? [&:]
