Re: U-Joint socket of choice

FYI - They usually have Loctite on them... even the new bolts that come in the strap kits from SPICER have per applied Loctite.

MAP Torch is your best bet if they are really stuck in there. Be careful not to burn up the inner stub axle seal.....

I've never used anything special as far as sockets.... Craftsman and Stanley are what I have at the house.

Something I have found that helps is to rotate the half shaft around so that you have the socket on the bolt straight as possible but still in contact with the edge of the half shafts yolk... that way you can use it to stabilize the socket/ratchet/extension... Those little bolts can be a real pain to get out of there.
