Special Axle nut wrench

[MarkB.NV]

I saw this mondo socket at the local Kragen store. I haven't yet tried it on my '91 Tracker (4wd), but should get to it soon. $20 and a decent return policy, figured what the heck...

Mark, The applicability of the tool doesn't include Geo Tracker, from what I read. I hope it works for you because that is a good price. If it doesn't, do a search, jtgh has listed tools for your application made by OTC/SPX.

mark, can you let me know if the tool is the right size? i have to replace in the near future a worn out front wheel bearing, from what i've read on this forum that axle nut tool is a real time/frustration saver,

wrong part, your has square pegs, the locking ring is round .220 holes ring.
.220 is size of actual real too pins, i must say..

Survey says ... Dig out the reciept, its time to take this thing back.

As Jerry correctly surmised, it don't fit our little trucks. The Kragen unit is too big in diameter. I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend the $93 to get the Kelly Moore tool.
(tool J-37763 sells for $83 + 10 for shipping)

If I do buy the KM tool, maybe we could have a tool loan process. Being as its a tool you need once a year or so, when you go in to check the bearings and repack the front hubs. Here's the pics of the right tool for the 4wd, I stole these from Jerry's site .

and i stole from another, thieves in the night, nah, someone here gave it to me.

understand one can make one from pipe.
and dill the hose and drive the pins,

in fact many here report they did.

can give better sizing if someone needs it.

yep. wont work. I had one laying around from when i had a 85 silverado. the dia. of the pegs is also larger than the holes on the tracker's locking rings.
