while trying to change the u-joints i stripped a bolt that is on the flange of the double cardan assembaly. Its pretty tight in there and i dont know how to get it off. Any ideas??

 

they make tools for that. i have a socket that is filled with these long pins that will grab even a round stud, i got it at harbor freight for like $15. theres also these things that you can get at home depot or any good hardware store:

 

thanks alot!

 

they work wll i use them at work alot

 

I found the same ones at Sears, they work great on wheel locks when you loose the key or they break when they're sill on the stud!
