Please list dimensions of the sockets.

I call them female flat heads. Never seen one though in person.

I don't know, you tell me.

I got the metric set. Here's a good size comparison to other 17 mm sockets. It may have helped me with rear strut replacement on a Honda. Couldn't get the bottom bolt back on with a socket. I didn't have a 17 mm socket that was shallow enough to allow for a torque wrench + socket combination to...

Lol not trolling, it is actually on my bird feeder. Ok nut vs knob, same thing right? The knob is threaded in there, and goes onto the stud. But yes I was wondering if there was a specialized tool for this. I believe it looked something similar to that. It's at a place I won't have access to for...

Thanks. I did not trade in my Acura lol. Was just wondering if there was a socket for this type of nut. This confirms that there isn't one. This is actually for a nut on my bird feeder lol. It is best described as a "tri-wing" nut. I will see if I can get a picture the next time I'm around it.

I have a tri Wing nut that is meant to be turned by hand, however it is rusted to much to unfasten by hand. Had been sitting outside for to long. Is there a socket for this type of fastener? It appears to be a wing every 60 degrees. Something like this This isn't the exact but but to just...

So the Mayhew tool will work on the 8 flat design? I have only removed inner tie rods with a two flat design. Are there other inner tie rod designs with a different number of flats than 2 and 8?

Anyone ever use an outer tie rod socket? Didn't know there was such a thing. Does it work well or damage the stud when you use it? Would defiantly help with seized up tie rods. The only video I could find of someone using it was a short video on YouTube of someone using it to take an old outer...

Would something like the Mayhew 29912 tool work?

2020 Honda Accord. Looking at possibly replacing the inner tie rods. The service information says to lower the front subframe. I thought this was a bit insane. However, looking at the actual part, it is not the typical setup. These inner tie rods have 8 wrench flats, as opposed to the typical 2...

So basically if you just tighten it up to ensure water doesn't get in, your good to go? What was used to incorrectly seal it?

Does it really matter what kind of clamp I use on my rack and pinion for inner tie rod? 2020 Honda Accord. The service information specifies how big the clamp should be etc.. Haven't seen something like this before. Sometimes I just cut them off and replace them with worm drive/screw drive...

Do special pliers exist to aid in removing such automotive electrical cable clamps? Something like this: I typically just get behind the black circular plastic part and pull up, but this can still break the clamp or the "ears". Basically need a tool that looks like this, with nice and flat...

You sheared one of those bolts, with hand tools or an impact?
