Subject:CV joints / automatic

Hi Volks,
 
Can I swap the axels from one side to the other on my '85 automatic?  It
seems to me that all the ware on the CV Joints are from going forward.
If I flip sides I will only hear the knocking when traveling at speed
going around a corner in reverse. I don't know if the flange to the
wheel and the flange to the final drive are the same but by putting the
left on the right and vise versa should work right?  By the way what
size tool is required to remove the bolts at the flange, it looks like
torx but I don't seem to have the right size?  Thanks in advance.
