I had triple square. It would be great if they are Torx as the last bolt stripped my triple square and I had to hammer it in...

I have thread locker so if nothing is applied, it'll smear a little on each bolt.

EDIT: Question -- Any ideas whether GKN provides a new 30mm axle nut?
--

Got under and removed the driver side axle today, and it too, binds.

The inner joint actually doesn't bind and it allowed me to rotate it 360 degree's both when pushed in and pushed out, but the outer was awful and binded even worse than the other side. So 3/4 joints were bad. I guess 166k isn't too bad and I am glad I caught it now rather than having horrible noises, which I guess, wouldn't be too far off from now.

Here's the collapsed differential mount I'll be replacing too. Be glad to get rid of the clunk on reverse, shifting, throttle LOL
