I just went through this trying to yank the crankshaft pulley off my
'74. I went to all the tool and auto parts shops in town and no one
could help me find the 1 5/16" socket to rent or buy. Fortunately, I
have a friend who works in a spring refurbishing shop. They work on a
great deal of large trucks, and he had one of these sockets in his
toolbox - and couldn't remember the last time he used it. So it sits in
my garage until I have to put the pulley back on, and then I'll return
it.
The upshot is, see if you can find a service shop that works on large
machinery. If they can't loan you the tool, maybe they can hook you up
with their tools supplier.
Best of luck.

'74 B - temporarily at piece. (Well, in pieces really.)
P.S. I'm temporarily on the digest. Forgive me if this comes too late.

I need to pull off the wheel bearing hubs, but need a decent source for
that special 1 61/64 inch socket...
