No way!!! You go back and get the correct 4-wheel drive socket!
-- pause--
OK... I just went out and dug in the "shop". Well... the socket must be at
the OTHER "shop" because it's not out there...
So, the 4-wheel drive socket that I got I ~think~ the lady said was for
Ford 4wd. I had the axle nut in my pocket and she took it back and found
the socket. WAG on her part, but it worked!! About $15 as I recall..
That's been over a year ago... sorry I don't have the socket on site. It's
even in its packaging with the info on it.
The package was red and white with black letters, as if that's really going
to help! Take the nut and see what you can find. You'll be saving a goodly
sum over the Moss price...
