Default Homemade ACR Socket
Got the idea from an old thread. $3.99 deep well 13/16 12pt socket. 10 mins. with dremel and a bench grinder. Ta da...Heavier than the Harley socket and a little thinner at the edge for a very easy fit. Only going to use it twice-removal and install. $40 seemed a little steep for something this simple.
