Combined with a 5 pound slide hammer, this socket allowed me to remove the spindles on a 1976 Dana 44 that's guaranteed to be rustier than anything you're working on. No amount of sledgehammer hits weakened him, but 10 minutes was enough. Do yourself a favor and get the right tool for the job. This rosette is well made, with thick walls and a beautiful finish. There are three thread sizes inside. My Dana 44 used a medium size. Any slide hammer with a 5/8" thread on the shank will do.
