O'rielly has the four lug GM spanner sockets in stock for $20,
just grind each lug to make them a slight bit more narrow and bump the grinder between each lug so they go in deeper. Wam Bam Thank You Mam!

nice

LOL, but the Can-am one is only like $40 I think. I made one the same way you did, and it broke the ears off first thing. I spent like 30min grinding on it and broke in in less than a min with all the locktite they use from the factory. Needless to say it was a little aggrivating. What is the part number or make and model it is used for, wouldn't mind trying to make another one.

 

[aandryiii]

the can-am one at my dealer is 49 + 20 for brp fee + 50 for overnight shipping(i needed it asap) so that wasnt a good route for me.

i'm not sure of the part # but it was the only big, 4 lug spanner socket they had in stock on the rack at o'reillys. It LITERALLY took me 5 minutes of hand grinding, and i'm sure it wont break...

if it breaks take it back lol

 

[phreebsd]

what does this tool do?

 

[codyh]

I thinik it takes off your trailing arms

 

[aandryiii]

thats correct. it loosens the floating nut that holds the upper part of the trailing arm to the chassis

 

[Polaris425]

and why would you need to remove that?

 

[codyh]

to put a lift on, were puttin a 4inch on it now, and we gotta replce the trailing arms

 

[Polaris425]

Ah... gotcha. Better get some pics when you're done. :rockn:

When everyone talks about heating it up are you just heating the spanner nut to melt the locktite on it?

Yes, it takes a lot(of heat) on most. That locktite is serious!

 

[CanAmChris]

OK after heating it do you need an impact to get the nut off or just a pull bar?

 

[emc]

impact works best.
