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.

Did you replace the bushing or the whole LCA?

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.
