No, really, Mars, I was talking about his nuts. If he had 'em chromed, that would explain the swelling.

I would buy an impact quality socket to get thicker walls than the spark plug socket.
My spark plug socket has thin walls so I can get down into the
nooks/crannies of various heads where a fat socket won't go.-Bob

But why I asked the question was I needed to tap the socket onto the nut... then press it out and repeat 8 times!! :Lol:
I oculd go measuer it and everything with a caliper but I rather just ask
