I am just wondering where all the guys who have rebuilt their motors have found this socket. I cannot find it anywhere. Can you guys help me out a little here?

Sears is where I got mine.

If you have a HARBOR FREIGHT store in your area, you can get it there too. Or any TRACTOR SUPPLY or ORSCHELIN'S store also.

You can use 54mm or 2 1/8". The 2 1/8" is a lot easier to find (as well as cheaper) and most Sears will have it.

I had a much easier time finding the 2 1/8 and got it at sears. It will most likely be a 3/4 drive, so u will need an adapter to a 1/2 drive if u dont have a 3/4.

i just went to harbor freight and picked up a "jumbo socket set" and the right size was in there, i use the others as wheel blocks when i jack up my car! lol.

Yeah, Harbor Freight and it'll be 3/4" drive. They have a cheap 3/4" breaker that you can get too for not too much money...instead of a 1/2->3/4 adapter and breaking something.

I searched at my local Sears and they did not even carry a 19mm socket. Pretty worthless store if you ask me. They said they could not order a 54 or a 2 1/8. Anyway, I will check out some of the places you guys mentioned and thank you. Happy Easter guys.

On a related note, have a big extension ready too. I strap the engine down and then use one of the legs off my engine hoist (square boxed tube) slipped over the Harbo Frieght 3/4 breaker.

The leg is 4ft. 7in. long, slipped over the breaker bar gives about 5ft. total leverage, I weigh about 190lbs., and have to bounce on it a little so that's more than 950 ft-lbs. torque required to break it loose.
