And the u-joint bolts should be 8mm. I wonder if someone cross threaded them?



The FSM has the bolt head as 8mm, but lots of folks use a 5/16. Not saying it's correct but real close.
8mm=.3149
5/16=.3125
What really pizzed me off was, all the sockets I broke were 20+ years old with NO hard use. I was counting on the "old" sockets to be a better quality than what is sold today.

I'm just going to try some impact 3/8 drive sockets and penetrating fluid, heat as required.

I'll update in a few days.

I don't think they're cross threaded, two bolts backed out OK. Just stuck real tight.

Thanks
