Well, where do you get yours? Need one for the 60 and does the 14 bolt use the sameone or do I need one there as well? I know you can always chisel and blah blah blah, but I want to have the right tools for the job here.
 
I had to go to a tool store to get mine. Kragen did not have the one I needed for my D70, which had a 2 9/16" hex style locknut. I f you need the king that has the tabs sticking out, I think Kragen has those.
 
My 14 and 60 use different sockets. I got my 14 bolt socket at a local Autozone and the 60 socket is on order from Randy's Ring and Pinion. NAPA carries it, but they want $45.00 /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif Randys sells them for about $20.
 
I got the front socket from my work. I do not yet own the 6 prong socket for the rear despite owning THREE 14 bolts. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
 
I bought one for a front 60 from Kragen and turned down the OD so it will fit inside the hub of my 14FF and replaced the 6 prong nuts with a set of D60 nuts and pin locks. That way I only need one socket and 1 type of nuts and locks.
