My favorite 19mm socket was the aluminum one sold by Stoddards...(sorry wayne)
The nylon insert soft sockets wear too quickly.

To remove, I used the same socket with a 1/2" drive breaker bar...
You never install anything with a power torque wrench. Removal only. (Shhh...don't mention this to the tire guys @ WalMart)...
