Have you considered taking a deep socket and having it turned down to fit the deep recess ?

Thank you for the suggestion James. However, as I do not have a lathe it would need to be done professionally. If I could find a local company who would accept such a "small job" it would cost the same in labour as buying a new alternator. It also annoys the hell out of me that such a common and inexpensive part; at 20 Australian dollars, would be machined so it requires such a secret squirrel tool. Kind regards Lionel

'thinning' a socket using a bench grinder might be an option, too (assuming single sockets are cheap) - mount the socket on a 1/4" hex to square adapter in an electric drill and gently apply it to the grinding wheel (making sure the socket and wheel are rotating in opposite directions). Gloves and eye protection are mandatory for this operation! Best regards, Chris. |

Mount a flap wheel/sanding disk or whatever its called where you are on a angle head grinder and take a pass at using a bench grinder wheel. This is what you want for a clean polished look.
