I was thinking about doing the same thing, welding pins onto a socket. Just not sure if I'll be able to make it strong enough
Needs to be tightened back to 155ft/lbs. The Autozone here had ALMOST the right thing.. it's for Ford and it's just about 1/4 inch too large in diameter.
Hey do you remember what size socket you ended up using? I know it's just under 2 inches in diameter.
Thanks again bud.
