With only a slight thread derailment, what size in the socket needed for the wheel bearing nut? I'm sick of using my hand made socket.

50mm from memory. The one I have is a 3/4" drive so you need to use a 3/4" -> 1/2" drive adapter so You can get it on the torque wrench. Works fine though.

Cool. Glenfords had some bigger than that the other day. Same deal with 3/8" drive though. Might compare the diff in cost to lowrange.
