I went to TQ down my wheels today and my socket broke...it's a special socket just for McGards, does anyone have one that I couold borrow for the weekend? (I have an autoX tomorrow!)

I've called speedware, but they don't have one...I'm going to call some local places to check also - if you know of a local place, please let me know!

here's the type I have:

thanks!!

 

looks like Les Schawb has it...crossing fingers!


EDIT: they didn't have the right one...and no one else did either.

 

damn bro I thought McGard is a good brand for lug nuts...how did it break?

 

not sure how/why it broke - I use an impact wrench to get them intially TQ'd down, then use a real TQ wrench to get them to 90 ft-lbs...I basically change wheels 2X every 2 weeks (to put on and take off my autoX wheels), so there's been a lot of cycles on the socket.

The socket is also a thin walled steel one...maybe there was a imperfection to begin with

-either way, I'm still very very happy w/ the lugs - they're the only ones that have been able to keep up w/ all the use for autoXing.


***Drivesolo let me borrow his!!!!!!!!!!!!!
