I bought a 34mm on Amazon. It is a 1/2 inch drive impact deep socket. With shipping it was around $30.00. I believe it was a Proto brand.

I bought a 3/4"drive 34mm at Harbor freight for like 7 bucks.
I don't have a 3/4" drive breaker bar or ratchet,so I just used a big ol' pipe wrench on the socket ,like I used to do on my old VW's

(hey,It's not like I'm gonna need it for anything else,or very often,and the Harbor freight socket is so soft,the pipe wrench bites just fine)

I'm not quite understanding? It sounds like you found that sears northern tool has what you want, so why not get it there?

Use the borrow program at AUTOZONE or CHECKER AUTO if you can. Otherwise, try an automotive source that also supplies industrial parts, like maybe NAPA.

That sounds right .... 33mm.

I got mine at Auto Zone, or O'Reiley's. All local auto parts stores.

Handy to have in case..

Is it 33 or 34? I need to pick one up also. Thanks.

Oh BTW, being a new C5 owner, why is that some things on the vette are metric and others are SAE?
