Hey
Im looking for a 30mm thin walled deep socket for getting the transmission output shaft collar nut off.
Does anyone have one/know where I can get hold of one that will fit ?
Cheers

You should be able to find one from a 3/4" drive socket in this size easily enough from a tool factors. It may require a little attention (mine did) from a bench grinder to get it thin walled enough to fit.

have a look at halfords, they do a cheap one at £8 which is cheap enough to be "modified" to work.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

TBH, mine's on indefinite loan from a set belonging to a neighbour about fifteen years ago . He had the set to deal with wheel nuts on some big agricultural vehicles, so only needed a few of the sockets and the big breaker bar - the 30mm one was sat unused in the box, and would probably still be if I hadn't "borrowed" it. I had intended to return it, but it didn't look quite so shiny after I had to thin it down on the grinding wheel.steve_k wrote: they ain't that cheap especially from motor factors,
