I would personally go for a box type one as my 52mm impact type like pictured above is not deep enough to get onto the inner locknut on my 90 when doing wheel bearings.
In the end I now have both, which are both useful for different things. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-SX011-Hub-...amp;sr=8-1 Insta: @thebenjordan4x4 |

Convert your hubs to the superior two nut system!

Have used and abused my britpart 52mm deep socket according to my records I brought it on the 26th November 2010  (can you tell I'm bored and back through the landy invoices)  Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest |

Definitely this. The replacement rear axle on my car came with the newer set up of spacer and the nut torqued up to 'daftNm'. Having studied and digested various threads on the topic, I decided to ditch the spacer and go old-style when doing some other rear axle stuff recently. I'm familiar with this from the umpty-um times I've done trailer bearings, and it's so much easier to manage. I'm lucky though in that I have a good impact driver, which took the 250Nm hub nut off without any drama. Luck, or planning ahead..... maybe.... can't remember. As with benniferJ I have the impact socket and the tube spanner. I know which I'd pick up first - I didn't have any issues getting the socket to fit onto the inner hub nut.
