The type of socket that i could use is pretty much as Dave described. I'm trying to find a socket made out of the older type of steel they used to use(old otc or lisle brand) and not the newer composite alloy. I'm going to cut the back of the socket off and reweld it to the side. A friend of mine works at a Nissan dealer and they use a similar setup on one of their trucks. They actually have an entire tool kit put together for this operation. The socket is exactally made as described to what I'm going to make. Can't use their socket because the Nissan uses a smaller locknut. Thought about getting the socket and opening it up to accept the Kia socket though. As far as torque wrenches go-mine goes to 250 lb.ft. Should have posted that I work on medium/heavy duty trucks so pulling 220lb.ft. won't be that hard as long as I can anchor the axle shaft to keep it from twisting in the vise.
