I got my rear drive shaft and U-joints off,but I moved on to the front driveshaft and none of my sockets or wrenches would fit the screw holding on the U-joint to the differential.I tried metric sizes,that doesnt work,I tried American sizes,that doesnt work.I'm thinken that the size is some kind of torx.Am I correct???What size is it???Where can I get the tool. :wink: Sully [addsig]

No,its not that.They are not just any old socket size,they are torx.Not metric not american.In other words it is a stupid odd size that no one uses anymore except for me. :wink: Sully[addsig]

I've heard that somewhere I think it's some old English measure for bikes and stuff. ;-) [addsig]
