where to buy 30mm wrench locally?

flytojungho · 07-13-2008, 03:00 PM

where do you guys get your 30mm wrench for the rear diff oil change? I tried my local lowes, home depot and autozone and they all do not carry 30mm. i think the highest they go is up to 27mm.

I couldn't find a 30mm anywhere either. But I went with a 1 & 1/4in. standard and it worked fine. I found that at an Advance Auto Parts.

I've heard a good adjustable wrench will work also. But I did need a breaker bar even with the massive 1-1/4in wrench, so I'd be hesitant to recommend going out and getting an adjustable if you don't have one.

just use an adjustable wrench. Its not on that tight so you really dont have to worry about chewing it up.

I bought mine @ my local sears.

Sears all the way. All the places you went to have very low quality tools. Craftsman is the lowest all go in quality. They have sockets half the size of you're head there.

Adjustable wrenches are fine for this job.
