    I started a full clutch rebuild this weekend on Eva with the help of Plugzit and when I got to the ringnut securing the flywheel I did not have the socket to do the job.
    I checked online and the socket is over $100.00 dollars and with the wife laid off explaining why I spent $100.00+ on a socket would be problematic...
    So I did some stooge investigation and found an alternate that works like a champ and only cost me $19.99 at my local Pep Boys!
    The socket is made by GreatNeck and is part #33625966 and the tag says 76mm wheel bearing 1/2" drive.
    Yes GreatNeck makes saws and these sockets which this particular model is built for Ford series HD trucks.
    I personally used it today and it worked great.
    So you can buy a $100.00 + socket or take it from this stooge and go to Pep Boys and pick this baby up for $19.99.
    Your wallet will thank you later.
    Jeff :)
