Yea I believe that's how I had em (like urs) on my silver monte, which I thought was backwards too lol but never had a problem

But these that I got are labeled the opposite, which I think look cooler haha :p

Yeah I got a 36mm I have no use for either. Luckily mine wasn't that tight and came right off with another socket that was 1 size bigger. I'll have a full set by the time I'm done LOL Are you spraying or brushing? If spraying how much paint did you use? now let's see the pics.

I'm just using caliper paint
Got the caliper brackets done yesterday, didn't have time to do the calipers because I have to mask off the car and wheel well and what not, I don't want that red paint getting on my white monte :p

I'll be posting pics tomorrow in another thread when it's all done

I'm replacing my front left hub and I find the 34mm doesn't fit and the 36mm has some play but was okay to use to remove the axle nut.

I paid someone a LOT about three years ago to do this job cause I didn't think I could and THANKS TO YOU GUYS now I'm doing it myself for almost nothing. Thanks to your postings I got the hub off with no trouble at all. I'm mad I got taken back then but at least I'm benefitting now because everything came right off without the least bit of trouble. I just wish the coolant elbows were this easy.

I lost the socket which I used before so now I don't know what size to get lol
If anyone knows I'd highly appreciate it
I wish I could help ya, but I read that they are 34mm, 36mm and I bought BOTH and neither one is correct.... Maybe someone replaced mine at one time... But I haven't a clue on the correct size for my monte... I used the 36mm, but to reinstall it I am trying to find one that fits snug so I can tourque it down enough so it doesn't keep slipping off...
