1951 Austin A40

[Geedub]

Trying to replace the driver's side rear end bearing and seal. The axel nut won't take my 1 7/8" or my 2" socket. Ones to small and the other is to big. Is there a 1 15/16" socket???. Any help would be appreciated.

You might try a 50mm if you can find one. It's only .031 oversize.

There's this no name 1 15/16" socket on Ebay. Its twenty bucks, and may be worth it if it'll work for you.

The socket features a rust and corrosion resistant black phosphate protective coating with laser etched size callouts and markings. LASER ETCHED - Socket has laser etched size markings that are easy to read and won't fade or rub away.

I'm gonna move this post to our BMC forum, where Austin is one of many marques discussed. I'll leave a pointer in this "Other Cars" forum.
