Oh Great Disseminator of Arcane Wisdom,

There is also a deep socket with flats around its top and bored out to accept
another socket.  On its working end the "inner" socket engages the flats of
the shock shaft and its other end has a square drive for a ratchet.  I have a
kit like that with different sized sockets for the nuts and differently
configured drivers for the shafts.
