I'm trying to replace a bad u-joint in a motor home build on a Ford
E0350 Superduty chassis. It has the star/spline type bolts holding
the driveshaft to the differential. Picked up a a set of metric and a
set of SAE sockets figuring one would fit. None do. It's around 1/2
in. Is there s special socket for this or are they just rusted small?

Thanks,
nothermark

You need a set of External torx sockets, these are reverse design torx
bolts.
Sears Craftsman part number 009345700000 mfr # 34570 $29.99
Napa carries them individualy impact style running in the 5-6 dollar
range.

Not to second guess you Whitelightning, but some of those bolts are 12pt.
7/16", and some are 1/2", instead of torx head.

Tell me about it. I'm thinking of taking the mirrors out of my house so I
don't see the old man in 'em any more.

I left out one other size, it is 12mm 12 pt.

See, I'm old too.

12 MM 12 point socket is the correct tool after going
through a wrench display with a new bolt. I pulled the old one's with
a Harbor Freight 13 MM mangled nut extractor because it fit and worked
on the impact wrench. I now have a set of spline sockets and 12 pt
sockets.
