Well, after I put my front driveshaft back on, I moved forward to remove the front sway bar (anti sway bar?)<br><br>Lo and behold, none of my sockets would fit.<br>Don't have any deep sockets in the metric size, biggest ones I had were old sparkplug (??) sockets, one was a little too big, the other a little too small.<br>Grabbed my limited selection of open end wrenches (SAE only, no metric) and they wouldn't fit either.<br><br>Guess it's time to invest in some deep well metric sockets and metric open end wrenches for my American Made Truck .<br><br>Didn't have funds or time to run to the nearest Sears (or Autozone), so I'll have to try again next week maybe.<br><br>Anyone know what size the nuts on the sway bar are?<br>There appears to be two different sized nuts, one on the axle side, another on the sway bar side.<br>(I was just going to disconnect, and swing the bar up and out of the way, temporary, then totally disconnect if it worked ok)<br><br>Maybe I can just start with a few sizes till I have more tool money soced away.<br><br><br><br>phox

My truck is a combination of Metric and Standard bolts AND Torx bits. I've had to get a whole new tool setup because of this truck.
