[Syty] RE: rear axle problem

Tue Jan 10 21:51:47 CST 2006

Joe,

They have some specialized sockets for getting out
rounded bolts at Sears. Here is a link to it:

http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00952161000

or just go to sears.com and search the tools section
for a  Craftsman Bolt-Outâ„¢ Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover
Set.

Hope this helps.

Will
