Who sells a FLYWHEEL NUT SOCKET ?

As for mine, I got a socket from Hazet with 1" connector. Even with impact gun it didn´t move the FW nut.
Took it down with a bar. The socket got damaged though. Hazet seems not to be the stuff it was once. (They arent bad, but i feel that the old stuff was more solid, they also had lifetime waranty)
My dad worked at an auto parts store back when he was young. Back there Hazet was the best stuff u could buy with money.
I still have some ratchets from hazet from about that time. They are great, very precise, solid, they do not rattle around like modern stuff does and they do not rust.

I've had a Craftsman 2 1/8" socket with a 3/4 to 1/2" adapter that I've been using for about 10-15 years. It's removed MANY flywheel nuts, most of the time being used with an impact gun. Still is working perfectly.
Speaking of, we did a buddy's clutch and new flywheel today and he brought over a 3/4" drive Harbor Freight impact gun. That sucker had to weigh 20-30 pounds or something, and you just put the socket on the gun, put it on the nut, pulled the trigger, then something happened that was like the world ending, and the nut is off. One scary damn tool.
If you're doing clutch/transmission/suspension work and don't have an impact gun you're a damn fool. Makes like EXPONENTIALLY easier.

^Same here. I remember being a little nervous of only being able to find the socket in a 12 pt., but it's never slipped.
And I've got one of those HF "Earthquakes" IIRC ~ 450 ft/lbs. I've been using. It was defeated once though...on a front hub nut. But never on a FW nut. Literally a great bang for the buck.
