Im looking for a set of sockets with a hex flange on the end...like spark plug sockets usually have. (these are not for my camaro but for other cars). They are used to remove the front shock upper nut while allowing and allen wrench to go through the top of the socket and into the shock stud to prevent it from spinning. I'd like a set but a single 21mm version will work for now....what the F are they called? THANKS!!

BTW, Summit sells WILMAR tools..

I think they're usually used to remove the upper mounts on struts, not shocks. I've seen them on the tool aisle at both O'Reilly and AutoZone.

I guess....if you dont care about your shock seals. Geez

wont hurt shock seals in any way, seal doesn't care if the shaft is spinning or sliding through it, btw a good impact will spin the nut off without spinning the shaft.

Exactly. Not trying to be smart, Im trying to help. It was likely tightened with an impact also

Some Bilsteins for non-strut vehicles have the allen drive in the top of the stud. Much nicer than the tiny double-D end.
