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]
