Rear Axle 12 point tool
I am looking to find a place to purchas one of these tools, can any one tell me where to get it from?
Lastly is there a size specification to ask companies like snap on tool or even matco?
Thanks

I looked and looked, and eventually found three sets. You need a 8mm tool for the CV bolts.
NAPA has it, called a triple square or 12 point tool #2304, It comes as a single 8mm tool, crappy quality, I didnt like this one and it was too much money for a crap steel tool. Also too damn thin to get any torque on.
Checker has it, PowerBuilt brand, in a set of 4 different sizes, much better quality, they call it something odd. Pack of 4 was like $10, and the 12mm is used for the flywheel or camshaft or something. I liked this one pretty well, fit was good and the shaft is big enough to get a socket on.
SnapOn has em, very expensive, like $30, but best quality.

I got a set of 4 at the local AutoZone, if you have one of those. Set of 4, the brand was OEM. Seems to be decent quality, no quite snap on, but I think the whole set was about $13. It is called a 12 point metric internal wrench set.
Looks kinda like this one:

Or, here's a place that carries a nice SK brand set

Good Luck!

Get the Autozone ones for one reason, eventually you will end up making one of them shorter! Dont remember why but I had to but one of mine, it made life so much easier. Further, who minds cutting on a 12 dollar tool?

As always, thanks for the replys.
I decided to go with the Matco 8mm-12mm for the fly wheel as well, total just under $50 for the set.
Thanks for the info again
