I have gone to every tool source in my county and the next, and unable to find one to do my rear end fluid. what sources has anyone else found??

Snap on, Matco, Baum tools, AST tools...just about anywhere.

Got one from ebay. Good heavy one, new, German made.

I bought a 12, 14, & 17mm set on E-bay. I've used the 12 & 14 so far and they have worked just fine.

It has been a few years since I bought mine, but it came in a set of three sizes (10, 12 and 14 mm) sockets (with hex bit) from Autozone.

Where in Nor Cal are you? I bought mine at Harbor Freight in Santa Rosa and never had a problem with it. Some people don't like the place but the prices are good.

I'm in Calaveras County. There is a Harbor freight in Stockton, what did yours cost?

I don't remember but I think it was well under $20 for the full set.

i ended up orderinf one on Ebay. I've been to every hardware and autoparts store within 20 miles, no luck. Last time i did my differential, on my 1980, we ground down a 9/16 allen wrench. I even tried to get a bolt that size, again, no luck. The hardware stores around here are very limited. I was trying to avoid ordering, but short of going to the valley, thats what i ended up doing - thanks for all the input.

I ordered one from sears online it is a allen driver. I think it is 3/8 drive

Let's hope it's 1/2" drive. You'll need it.
