Fifty150 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Does anyone know the size of the hex bit I will need to insert into the guide hole? Just in case I lose the OEM lug wrench. And just in case anyone needs to know, the OEM torque spec is 100 lb-ft. With an 18" breaker bar, and a 3/4" socket, the lug nuts came off with ease.

Dandytc Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The hex bit on the lug wrench is 13 mm, with a loose fit, but a 14 mm bit doesn't fit. It looks like a 1/2" bit would work as well. Did you need an excuse to visit your nearest HF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 I never need an excuse to go to Harbor Freight. Nor do I have an excuse for drinking intoxicants and associating with vixens with low moral standards. But it won't be a Harbor Freight trip. Harbor Freight sells sets of sockets. Sears has open stock. I will not buy 180 pieces, for the 1 size I want. Already own hex bit kits that I only bought for 1 size. Problem is that they are too small. Now I have a bunch of small bits without purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty150 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Okay. 13 mm is slightly more than 1/2". 14 mm is equal to 9/16". 7 hours ago, Dandytc said: The hex bit on the lug wrench is 13 mm, with a loose fit, but a 14 mm bit doesn't fit.

mrtn Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Loose fit is intentional. You should be able to rotate it comfortably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chell Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If you have a Northern Tool Store near you ... check them out. They sell LOTS of single item sockets and bits for ratchets. OLDSCHOOLFOOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Chell Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I've spent a few weeks out there every year for over a decade. So far, I've not seen any girls that were worth the gas prices or other restrictions. The line, "I wish they all could be California girls." wasn't about beauty, I think. It was about "easy". Fishing is good all over, too. Nothing special. The only thing I've seen in California that's better than anywhere else in the Country ... that Northern California Coastline. Beautiful. Other than that ... not a fan. Edited August 3, 2018 by Mike Chell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you're out here, I'll get you on a charter boat. We'll take you out into the open ocean. Little bit different than lake fishing. Fish are a lot bigger.
