Spanner wrench for Toyota and 9"

[lbyota85]

So a couple months ago I was setting up a couple Toyota diffs when my spanner wrench for the carrier bearing preload gave up the ghost. I was contemplating just making one when I happened to spot something. Turns out that a D60 hub socket (the 4 prong kind) fits like it was made for it. So with that discovery I started to think of the 9" and found out that a D44 hub socket fits it like a glove. Just thought I would share.

This is the socket I'm talking about.......

Instead of this.....

Thanks for the tip. I've got that exact socket in my toolbox.
