Im gonna do my tower bush's tomorrow and aint got a 1"5/16th socket, so is a 33mm socket ok to use or does it have to be spot on with the imperial?

 

Cheers

Worth doing it with a 1"5/16th socket as that converts to just over 33mm, so you'd have to use a 34mm socket which is slightly over sized and then you run the risk of rounding it off. 

Worth having as a 1"5/16th is also the hub nut. 

 

You can order it as TOOL04 from Mini Spares.

Try Machine Mart, if you have one locally. Or any motor factors/tool shop.

Any motor factors should be able to get you one fairly sharpish. Laser tools part number: 0925

34mm Single hex would be OK...the correct sized imperial would be better.

If you buy, get a deep one (like Minispares's), it'll fit all possible uses.
