Don, your double end lug nut socket would be 3/4 on one end and 13/16 on the other so yeah that would work.

I did it and it was surprisingly simple to do. The old bushing was bad, as in almost no rubber left and the center piece slipped right out.

In the process I found out my jack about failed. I almost couldn't get the car off of the jackstand, so I went and got a new one tonight.
