VEVOR Axle Nut Socket Set — 4-Piece 1/2" Drive SAE (1-13/16"–2"), 6-Point Cr-Mo

Axle nuts and spindle nuts are big and corroded and overtorqued. Your standard socket set doesn't cover them — the sizes top out around 1-1/4" SAE, and axle nuts start at 1-13/16". You end up with a breaker bar and a 30" pipe, a socket that's rounding the nut, and a wheel bearing job that just turned into a two-day ordeal. These four sockets exist so that doesn't happen.

The VEVOR 4-Piece Axle Nut Socket Set covers 1-13/16", 1-7/8", 1-15/16", and 2" in Cr-Mo steel — the four SAE sizes that come up on axle, spindle, and hub nut service on cars, trucks, and SUVs — on a 1/2" drive.

What's in the set

• Material: Cr-Mo (chrome-molybdenum) steel, heat treated with phosphate finish
• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7mm)
• Socket geometry: 6-point shallow
• Sizes (4): 1-13/16", 1-7/8", 1-15/16", 2" SAE
• Markings: Stamped, wear-resistant size labels
• Storage: Carry case with handle and airtight seal
• Package weight: 8.55 lbs (3.88 kg)

Good for

• Wheel bearing replacement — removing the axle nut is the first step, and it's always oversized
• Front hub and spindle nut service on cars, SUVs, and light trucks
• CV axle and stub axle nut removal on FWD and AWD drivetrains
• Any shop that does suspension and drivetrain work and keeps burning up improvised solutions on these nuts

Not for

• Metric axle nuts — this is a SAE-only set (for metric, look at the 8-piece metric axle nut set)
• 3/4" drive applications — these are 1/2" drive sockets
• Torque-critical final install — use a torque wrench for the final tighten; this set is for breaking loose and running down
