Thats all nice and dandy.. but I seriously doubt these guys make a 54 mm 
socket..

For the original poster, I bought mine from a tool truck as he was 
making the rounds to the garages where he sold to mechanics. Not cheap, 
and its not used a lot.. but it gets the job done. You may find what you 
are looking for in a surplus yard too, or even in a comprehensive auto 
parts store.
