Clutch 6-sided 37mm socket - hard to find

[iceman]

Hi,
Building up my bits list for replacing the clutch bearing, clutch pads and other maintenance tasks, but one thing that seems harder to find is a good 6 sided 37mm clutch socket. Apparently some of the Ebay bought ones from China can be more 38mm than the quoted 37 which is not a good thing, so anyone know of a reasonably priced and UK obtainable socket? - don't want to spend £30-50 on a top brand one for what will be very occasional use.

There's a youttube video of someone using an adjustable wrench for removal, holding it on and banging the end of the wrench on the floor to loosen the bolt - works well but not so good for re-installation

Seems a good torque wrench will be in the region of £60-70 - is it needed? Can you just add marks for where the bolt or nut was before removal and tighten back to that spot?

No, use the torque wrench.

Faced with exactly the same maintenance task, I recently purchased a torque wrench - cost me NZD $31. Doesn't need to be fancy - just needs to work.

Looks like this one, but new:

I'll face the same dilemma with the socket - I'll probably just borrow one from a mate - or buy it if I'm feeling rich. Agree that it is a bitter pill to have to swallow though.

I believe it should be a 6-sided 39mm (not 37mm!) socket - good thing I had not ordered one yet. Surprised no one spotted my mistake
I believe something like this should be fine?

How about this, it's an impact socket so should be ok. 3/4" drive so you might need a converter.https://www.toolstoday.co.uk/iss-3-4-dr ... tkQAvD_BwE
