The Febi's for the 123 have a hex hole in the end of the ball joint post -- just made for putting a hex wrench in the end to prevent the ball from spinning when you are tightning down the nyloc nut. Mine at home has been waiting for the thaw.. tonight or tomorrow I get to tighten everything down and reassemble the car (I refuse to work outside in freezing weather if I have a choice).
Imagine my suprise when I went out to finally compete the UCA install. I couldn't figure out what hex wrench would fit those dang joints 
. That's because they don't have a hex hole in the end. I don't know what I was drinking that night, but I sure want some more, if only for the perfectly designed auto parts 
. Just didn't want anybody goin' out and buying that brand just cause of my misinfo.. buy them because you think they're better instead.
