Saw an ad in LRO sometime ago for a socket designed to fit the bolts on the drive shaft to differential joint. Can't seem to find it now. Single piece consisted of a 9/16ths, I believe, with a thin extension of about 4 inches ending in a 1/2" drive opening. Designed to allow room to get a socket on the bolt head where a normal socket and extension will not fit. Would make removal of drive shaft bolts and nuts a cinch for both coilers and Series owners. Anyone know of a source for this tool?

Craftsman sells 1/4" drive 14mm (Sears #: 00943200000) and 9/16" Flex sockets that work great. The 1/4" drive sockes are thin-walled enough to fit in the tight space. The 14mm sockets works great if the bolts are pristine, otherwise, try the 9/16.

Thanks,
Mike B.
