Hello!
A few months ago, I bought a socket off the shelves of a local auto-parts store and JUST NOT got around to testing to see if it worked. Well, it doesn't fit. It has the same shape and everything and the notches seem to line up with the holes, but it won't slide on and remove the nut.
It looks like this:

I tried to return it and conveniently the store no longer sells that product and couldn't even offer me store credit-which is what they do when a return comes in, unopened, without a receipt.
I went to O'Reilly's up the road a ways and they have three type of spindle sockets on the shelves. 2 are way too small, and one I'm just not sure enough about.
This is the one I'm thinking about buying.

Is it going to work? I can't tell. I would buy one online but I need this truck up and running ASAP.
DO any of you have some known good NAPA, Autozone, O'Reilly's, Car Quest, Federated, Murray's auto parts store product numbers that I could call and ask for?
My truck is a 1986 M1008.
I thank you for your help!
