[QUOTE="vtcornercarver, post: 120281, member: 661"] Hi everyone, when it came time to torque my front axle, I discovered that the drive adaptor that seemed such a nice snug fit into the sparkplug end of the socket, SLIPPED :angry: while applying the recomended amount of torque. Sooooooooooo, I silver soldered the suckers together and there ya go, worked perfectly. I couldn't find any sparkplug socket that would accomodate a drive extension into the plug end. They are machined so the square female for the socket drive can only enter from the top, not the bottom or plug end. that is why I rigged these two bits together. It looked like no soldering would be required but it did. sorry to mislead anybody, but now I know and now you know, YOU will have to add some solder to make it handle the torque necessary. Still a great cheap tool, Good Luck tire changers.. :D VT [/QUOTE]
