Hey folks,
My first post...been lurking for a while.
I have a 96 XJ with a Dana 35c with the c-clips. I'm trying to do the axle bearings and seals. Everything I've read shows it to be a straight forward job.


So...up on the jack stands, wheels off, cover off and...


Cannot find the right size wrench for the pinion mate shaft lock screw. Some say 1/4" 12 point...others say 8mm 12 point...I've gone down to 7mm 12 point and still to large.


I don't want to strip/break this 'cause it will be a bummer to get out.


Any idea the size wrench/socket and where to get one? I'm at a loss and my jeep is stuck on the jack stands...not to mention I'm renting the bearing puller and slide hammer.


Thanks

 

has to be 1/4 inch

 

It is 1/4" 12 point.


I was using some off brand wrenches, so I borrowed a set of ignition wrenches from a friend just to find the sixe...sure enough 1/4' 12 point.


I then dug deeper into my tool box and pulled out the trusty Craftsman...Job Completed. Quality tools help produce quality results.


Talk about banging your head against the wall.


Thanks for looking, I know you guys would have helped me, but you can't fix DUMB.
