Special Tools for 4k



So I'm under the Car today changing the oil and checking the CV boots and I
notice it looks like time to change the drive flange seals. Figure I'll
inspect and repack the CVs at the same time. But....

What the heck kind of a tool do I need to get the inner CVJs outta there?
It's not a torx. Looked at the archives for this list. Sears may have the
Tool. I'll check tomorrow.

So I'm checking out how where the filler and drain plugs are for the
gearbox. And again: what the heck kind of a huge allen key am I going to
need to get these plugs out???? Looks like 17mm. Off to Canadian Tire.

Nope, Canadian Tire doesn't have a socket or an allen-anything that big.
Off to Home Depot. Nope! They don't have anything bigger than 8mm or 10mm!
Now what? It looks the tool that came with my chainsaw would do the trick
(if it fits), but that's miles away.

So do they make hex sockets big enough to take those plugs out or am I
missing something here?
