Hmm.

They sell and rent those at most auto parts chain stores. I've rented them (for axle nuts) at Checkers, and AutoZone. They even come in a nice 4 size set, if you don't have exact fitment yet.

They were 1/2" drive too.

That's the big 'ol nut you need to remove to adjust your steering freeplay. Without the socket you'll have chisel that sucker loose!

I bought a socket set from sears that had the SAE one in it and it worked...
