sorry i was not specific enough. there is the spindle that goes into the diff. then there is the axle shaft that is bolted to the spindle that goes into the diff. what i need to do is take out the 6 splined bolts that hold the axle and spindle together. for some reason they dont give you the whole complete axle. once i get it off i can put the old spindle on the new axle and then be able to put it back in the car. Where would i get a splined socket for these 6 bolts? i found one on this site but it is way too big. Is it a dealership only service item? need help Thanks
