Yup, I went the NAPA route too.  The 1 13/16" socket worked fine, got the 3/4" breaker bar there on
sale for $40, not too bad although I know there are cheaper options.


Also, Home Depot has precut lengths of 1" Rigid pipe in the plumbing department.  Bought 36" of
that for about $14, a prefect fit over the handle of the breaker bar!  Axle nut came off with no fuss,
I'm sure the torquing will go fine thanks to the help of the list!
