princy Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Those sockets are great but a layer of insulation tape wrapped around the socket will do the job if you're stuck Edited December 13, 2013 by princy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1280 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'll order one of them because I'm not putting my wheels on for another week or so but good tip with the tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ownleemee Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'll order one of them because I'm not putting my wheels on for another week or so but good tip with the tape I always wrap Duct Tape around the Std one in the boot as well.
