Sears....

2 1/8" 12 pt. socket Item# 00947789000 Model# 47789 about 35.00

but it's 3/4" drive. you won't find it in 1/2" drive. you need to get an adaptor 3/4" to 1/2"

I bought my socket from their website....... good luck

yup I use the 2 1/8" for the motors that have a clean flywheel nut.

I also have a 2 1/4" for motors that have the flywheel nuts with messed up edges like from being hit with a chisel.

so far it has worked without any issues......

Just be careful using a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter. Make sure it's an impact adapter. I made the mistake of using whatever one I had laying around and it shattered the adapter while trying to get the nut off.

Remember that a cheater pipe is your best friend when it comes to taking off the flywheel nut. Just go to Home Depot and buy about 4 feet of 1.5" dia iron pipe.

Also, do you have the torque wrench to reinstall the nut to the proper torque? If you don't you can pick one up for cheap at Harbor Freight tools.
