Jesus!! :uhh: = Me 🤣 = 16pt **Internet Zonked me** I only need the u-joints pressed in. Thanks ---

That is one weird bolt, I see 6 points on the half that is showing, I wonder why they would put 10 on the other “hemisphere”? ---

Pretty sure a 12 point will grab that. It better, since there is no such thing as a 16 point. ---

Well after trying to use my 8 point and failing and being pissed off about a few things, I thought I could trust the jeep forum. Man was I wrong. I went on this wild goose hunt for nothing, I guess you learn from experience right? Now my only question is does anyone know a place I can get these pressed in quick? ---

Any shop should be able to do it for you. You can do them yourself if you have a big ass vice. I removed the fiance’s half-shaft and took it in and it was like $30 or something to be pressed in. Someplace down here in Arcade by work. ---
