Went to HF they don't sell individual sockets that size
Went to Northern tool they had a 29mm but in 3/4 drive BUT they had an adapter that went from 3/4 down to 1/2 drive
I put the 29mm on and it seems just ever so slightly loose must be par for the course :umm: (it's a 6 point impact)
And one of these days I'll dig a little better in the shop and I'll have 2 29mm sockets or my grand son will inherit it if he finds it :shrug:
But it's Beer 30 and time to make some stir fry fried rice and egg rolls

Yes, unbent that lock tab first. Note, suggestuon, upon removing the clutch basket and all the corresponding washers, bearing, and bushing. Immediately look o_O at the wear patterns to see how they all fit to each other in sequence. Then tie them in that sequence for the reassembly in the future.

Your earlier model doesn't use that tabbed lock washer, just a normal split one or a Belleville type.

Split one I might even have, or could get one easy
I didn't want to spend something Like $10 plush shipping
Thanks Now I can finish that job
 
Carefully examine the washers you took off. The Belleville type isn't dished very much, but it is. You may have it already.

I was wondering what a Belleville washer was
Maybe I have it ?
