Go to a local parts store and ask for a 35mm, 1/2" drive axle nut socket. Same thing.

35mm or 36mm? I have a 30mm and 36 mm axle sockets in my tool box. Never heard of a 35mm.

You can find it at [sears.com](http://sears.com). I only saw it in 12-point. I didn’t see a 6-point.

You can also get an SK brand 1/2" dr., 1 3/8" socket from Sears online. [Click here to see](http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00994488000P?vName=Tools&cName=Mechanics+Tools&sName=Sockets).

If you don’t mind paying twice as much, you can also get that size online from Snap-on and Mac.

You can buy a 3/4" drive socket and an adapter so you can use the 1/2" drive.
