You may want to take the easy route and go by a tire shop that
specializes in truck tires.  They should have a socket that will fit and
will zing it off with their 1" impact wrench for a few bucks. Why
wrestle the 100 pound gorilla if you don't have to?  =20

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=20
making the rounds to the garages where he sold to mechanics. Not cheap,=20
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=20
parts store.
