Did new ball joints yesterday,What do you call the socket that takes off the three bolts that holds the hub on ? "spline".Can you replace them with a regular bolt dont want to have to mess with that again.
Thanks

 

You can replace them with grade 8 or better and those stock bolts suck a$$

 

Yes sir tried to find socket to fit only thing I could find was a spline socket it work but bearly

 

External torx? I know my caliper bolts used those at one time

 

Nope has to many tips for torx

 

Great that means I need more tools now lol unless its just a 12 point socket but I don't think that would be likely since you had to use a spline socket

 

12 pt works fine

 

Awesome I think I have those if not their easier to get than a spline socket

 

Well my bad I tried but it seem like I would have had to drive it on felt real tight thanks but spline work out got a set at harbor frieght

 

I trimmed the rear fenders last night, today I am planning on installing the new engine and trans mounts .

 

Officially sold it. I can no longer afford 2 rigs. Dentist wants 12k in work. :/ But I would like to keep posting if it's cool.

Here's a pic of how far I made it before selling.

 

Thanks everyone! We've been dating for almost 5 years so i figured might as well take the next step.

Lowrange, unfortunately it rained just before we hit daniel so the first ledge wasn't gonna happen. But i did go up the back way and took all the hard lines up, not the bypasses. I would've tried the ledge but my future mother in-law was riding with us and it was her first time wheelin so i couldn't be to rough. Lol.

 

the socket needed is a 12 point 13 mm. thats what those bolts are made for.

carry one of those and no need to change the bolts.

 

Did some general maintenance today. Checked fluids. Checked diff fluids. Def need to change the front fluid soon, might as well do rear too. Also relocated driver side horn into engine bay, gotta do passenger side one day soon

 

Wheeled it a little and stuck the doors back on it before this storm hits. Looks funny being covered in mud but the doors being totally clean lol
