Rookiew/Dmax 09-15-2004, 10:29 AM Normally I would not post this question, however due to circumstances beyond my control I must ask, what size socket must I purchase for the lug nuts on my 2002 2500HD. Thanks to all who reply chuntag95 09-15-2004, 02:42 PM 22 mm. craSSh 09-15-2004, 06:24 PM I've used a 7/8" snoman 09-15-2004, 07:21 PM I have used a 7/8 6 point socket on 8 lug wheels for more than 20 years now. Still work s on new trucks even if they are metric. flhrciblueice 09-18-2004, 07:55 PM 7/8" is very close to 22mm. IIRC, 7/8 is 22.225mm. snoman 09-18-2004, 08:49 PM 7/8" is very close to 22mm. IIRC, 7/8 is 22.225mm. Close enough, especailly if it is a 6 point socket. Frank Blum 09-19-2004, 09:48 PM 22 mm = .866" 7/8 = .875" 2fast2 09-20-2004, 01:41 PM 22 mm. Use a six point socket. Thanks to some factory goons or a goofy robot, one of my lug nuts was SO TIGHT that I rounded off the points with a 12 mm 12 pt. socket. I bought a nice 6 point 22 mm socket from Northern Tool for only a couple bucks. No more problems. Don't forget to use a torque wrench set to 140 ft.lbs. for final tightening. 2fast2 | ||
