hawk suzuki  100.00 bucks cheapest i could find it.  if you ship it back they will give you 75 bucks back but the way i see it is i will probably need it again sometime so i might decide to keep it.

Mmmm. Something to thnk about. I'll rather do it the right way than guessing.

NAPA has a 3-pin socket that they say fits the nut and its 50 bucks.
Dealership is No Frinkin help.
WTF
Guess I'll just have to guess on torque and do the wobble test.

if you have a haynes book....hold on im gonna get mine they give the torque for that nut.....well depending on the year you have:       Ft-lbs
92 and earlier...........89 to 148
93 sidekick................180
93 tracker.................155
94 and later(all models)............159

I had p/n for this before, dealership wanted $160 for it. I'll check out NAPA, got their p/n?

Not with me, I ordered over the phone when I got home and checked with dealer. . It was a factory BackOrder. Meaning I don't know when I'll ever get it or not :-/
But what they (NAPA) showed was a 3 pin socket for 97 and up years but the dealer said ( :-/)  its the same part # for the wheelnut from 95 to 97 and it should work :-/

hmmm thats kinda wierd i have a 94 and it has four pins on the nut and the socket i ordered had four pins also, have you looked at the wheel bearing nut too see if it has three pins?? i would be concerned about putting 150 some ft-lbs of torque on three pins instead of four. just a thought.

Yup. Just put mine together and there is 4-pin holes for tightening so I son't know where they came up with a 3-pin socket. Thats a Chevy dealer for ya
"O"Well, I'm back on the road and will test it out tomorrow
Maybe I'll have to call Hawk and order a 4-pin socket, Never hurts to have too many of the RIGHT tools around

Important lesson learned.
BUY THE RIGHT TOOL!!.
Got it back together, wheeled it  sunday b-4 last (6/27) didn't drive it all week. Went to wheel it last Sunday. the tire didn't quit look right but I figured the spring was getting soft. Wheeled the crap out of it. Got home and decided to jack it up and check for freeplay and find a squeek. Damn! guess I'm lucky I got home.
  We didn't have the right tool and tighten it the best we could and found out it got hung up and wasn't on all the way (about 1/8 inch).
 Now we're getting the right tool and redoing it.  
But. I still had fun and it didn't slow me down the whole time I was wheeling

Heres the tool
Lil Bro made it at work (on his breaks )
He saved me a 100 bucks.

So, If anybody is in my neck of the woods and needs to borrow one, Let me know
