Ok, does anyone know an on line vendor for the 12 point allen socket for the
axle retainer. I checked 4 different shops in the area, yes even NAPA , and
none of them have the socket. Thought about a torx bit, but I just know
that's not going to work.

Hey All, I found mine at a local autozone. I got three sizes
of the triple square in a package, one of which fit the axle retaining bolt
for under 12 dollars
I found several of mine loose and removed one and took it
in the store with me to confirm fit.
good luck, ray> From: vbriggs at stny.rr.com> Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2007 19:57:52

I went to two different autozones, they thought I was from mars or
something. Napa had the allen key set, but no sockets and they would
have had to order them anyways for like $60 ! Roger sent me that web
link, 4 piece set for like $12
