Got mine from a guy on ebay for 2.95 plus a few bucks for shipping. He makes them I guess and you just throw a big adjustable wrench on it to loosen and tighten and it works great and you can't beat the price.

The front axle is 25 mm (o. d.), the Allen size that just fits in
can't be 19 mm.
There's your wrench back

Def +25 on the craftsman sparkplug socket. $5 at sears, works and fits perfectly. Just pull the rubber piece out and use an extension
