Thanx in advance.   Will Cupp (W_cupp) Member Username: W_cupp Post Number: 136 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 04, 2003 - 09:50 am:    Those bolts are usally not very tight. Somethimes you can get a 6pt. socket on them, its something like a 9mm. It's not the right tool for the job, but it will work in a pinch.   David Zymowski (Davidz) New Member Username: Davidz Post Number: 38 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 04, 2003 - 10:34 am:    it is a 12 point 8mm socket or a 5/16 12 point will work also. get it in a 1/4" drive.   Clay Mullins (Kyclay) New Member Username: Kyclay Post Number: 20 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 04, 2003 - 10:46 am:    Thanx again fella's.
