So I'm thinkin' maybe I'll upgrade to an allen<BR>> socket or something. Right. So I'm off to Home Depot, Gem Auto, Sears,<BR>> Advance Auto, ... and no one has a 17mm allen socket, or even a 17mm allen<BR>> wrench. Then Harbor Freight comes to mind, but I also remembered someone<BR>> mentioned a tool (I think at HF) specific to removing that big allen bolt.<BR>> That would be an upgrade indeed.<BR>><BR>> So, can anyone out there fill me in on the tool that does the job before I<BR>> tear the workshop apart or go to HF?<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Dave B.<BR>><BR></DIV></div>
