Title: Overdrive mainshaft socket
Post by: davis911s on July 02, 2017, 11:16 AM
I purchased an overdrive unit for my series III. I will need the special socket 600300 to install

Wondering if anyone has one that I could borrow, sad part is I am in Lethbridge. We make trips to Calgary often though. If not, where can this be purchased "locally", or is on-line the best option?

Thanks

I have one here in Regina, if you are anywhere out this way, you are welcome to borrow.  I got mine from Roversnorth when the dollar exchange was better.  There is a place in the UK selling these which might be cheaper

I came across this article.  Depends if you have the expertise to do the work your self.

Some guys just use a hammer and drift but then there is no way of knowing how much torque you are applying.
There are some on eBay but very expensive for a socket not used more than once or twice.

No guarantees, but you can use mine.

I`d reckon you can put a few pounds of torque on that.
