Will these sockets work for DV removal?

Just found these: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=99851

I normally don't buy stuff at Harbor Frieght, but I'll only use a DV socket once when I time my truck and I don't want to spend $40 for it.

Lte me know if these will work.

Bob

They don't look like they are fine enough to work.

I found a picture for the miller part and see that these sockets won't work.

I guess I'lll have to bite the bullet and buy the Miller socket.

See the peak diesel socket, or I got mine from Snap-On, made by bluepoint if I remember correctly, I paid 32-35 for it.

Miller is high if I had to venture a guess.

I just called the Snap-On dude that sells tools to the machinist at the auto parts shop that I have an account at. He quoted me $50 and he doesn't have one in stock. Ouch. He's calling around to try and find one. I'm gonna try to talk him down a little....
