Default Where do I get this?

I'm trying to fix the clicking noise from the back end of my C5 and have read the posts. I need a 33mm socket and can't locate one. I tried Sears with no luck. I've been looking online at places like Autozone, Checker, Napa, etc... at least on line I'm not seeing one.

Where is a good place to get one?

is it a normal socket or an impact one. If they are in different areas I might not have looked at the impact sockets. I'll have to make another trip... I'll have to take the Accord though unless I want to throw the rear tires back on the Vette

I purchased mine at Murrys and I saw them at Pepboys. It was by the impact sockets and it was on a ring that was labeled "axel socket".

Went to Sears again, found the other sections of sockets... still no luck. Went to a local Harbor Freight Store... no luck. Went to my Dad's house... no luck

There's one more place I'll check today on the way to a barbecue, if it isn't there I'll just have to put the wheels back on and order the socket online. I probably spent enough on gas today in my Bronco that I could have ordered to piece three times

A side note: I had a tire off the Corvette and rolled in next to my black 87 IROC and it looks SWEET. It made me want to get new rims on the vette and put the existing ones on the camaro.
