Default Rare socket size

To those who did their diff oil change, where do you get your sockets from? To me, it is basically impossible to find 23mm and 24mm socket anywhere. Home Depot, Pepboy, Couple other auto parts store. None of them have it.

Sears has the wrench. You cant put a socket on the filler anyways.

Sears should have a socket for the drain bolt and a wrench for the fill bolt(Craftsman is like $15 and not included in any sets!!! ).

15/16 is a perfect fit on the drain bolt.

23mm open end wrench or adj wrench for the fill.

S&K and Snap-On both have these sizes available online. For the price S&K is crap, however the Facom tools from their site are excellent. I always go for the 6 point sockets. Good Luck

I just went down to Sears Hardware and picked one up. Keep in mind that a socket that size requires a 1/2" drive wrench, so if you don't have one, you need to get one.
