Jolly_John Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Hi. Does anyone have a Miller Manufacturing Company (Detroit, Michigan) Specialty Auto Tool catalog on their shelf? I am trying to identify this huge Miller DD-917 socket. This tool is 8-1/2" long, and the dimension across the corners of the nut-gripping part of the socket is 3-3/4". Thanks for any help!

hellerc Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I don't have their catalog, but the tool looks like several I have. They are used to remove / install the bearing retaining nuts on full floating axles. You insert a bar at the top, and the wrench part is used to remove/tighten the bearing nuts. Afterm you remove the axle flange/axle, there is one nut that is locked by a foldover metal type lock, then after removing that nut and lock you remove the next nut which cointacts the bearing inner race.Hope this helps,Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Bet that's for Dodge trucks then...I've seen many bearing nuts in full-floating hubs that never saw a socket after the factory ... only a cold-chisel !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thank you very much for the input, Carl and Frank. What you're indicating makes sense. This tool came out of a Buick, Pontiac and GMC dealership.....so I'm wondering if it might relate to a GMC truck application. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tcuda340 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 The tool number is not currently listed in their on-line catalog. You'll need to find someone with an old catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly_John Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 How about that Frank....he was right on. Thank you very much hwellens for going to the trouble to scan the page showing the 1946 Dodge, 2 ton truck application. I appreciate all of the help you fellows on the forum have provided.
