'85 K20 spindle nut socket

[Terlingueno]

So I am looking at greasing the front wheel bearings on the K20 Sub at some point in the future when the 100° temps subside somewhat. I have always had these done by mechanic friends in the past, but I want to do this myself this time. Same goes for a future brake job. Front axle is a GM Corporate 10 bolt.

The only thing that is not OEM from Chevy is the upgraded Warn locking hubs which replaced the OEM set as one side got damaged by a large rock in Death Valley. I have been researching the process and learned I will need a spindle nut socket to disassemble/reassemble the front hub/rotor assembly. In my searches it appears that for that model year the socket should have four lugs. I also got confused by some sources saying there is one socket for K10's and one socket for K20's. As in LMC https://www.lmctruck.com/mechanical/drivetrain/csb-1973-91-wheel-bearing-lock-nut-socket and some other sources stating that there is one socket for both.

Anyone super familiar with this and could guide me to some makers and part numbers for these sockets like Kent-Moore, Snap On, Mac, etc. I want to look at the auction site for a used one but I need the part number. If LMC is correct in having specific K20 socket, I might just go with them

K10 and K20 use the same socket. Although I'm not sure about the early model "external" hubs and "big bearing" hubs. Those were pre-'77.

I *think* this is the one I use on them:

I've got another 4-prong one, pretty sure it's not for a 10-bolt. It's larger.

They’re the same.

With respect to axles GM used, there’s 2 sockets - 1 tons or everything else.
