I wish I was as fine, as those who work the pipeline!
got my set at napa, one set long, one set short. Been a while don't remember the cost, but I am pretty sure you can buy individuals if thats all you want.

Kevin,
It is at T40. Snap-On part ftxl40e. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....store&tool=all
This particular one is 4 1/4 inches long to meke the job easy. Mine were siezed in there bad and I ended up stripping out 2 of the bolts anyways and ended up using a grinder, and dremel tool to buzz off the bolt head. Like Tate said, do yourself a favor and replace the bolts with normal bolts! Metric threads, just not sure of the threads. Northern Metalic here had them. Now I can easily take my front drive shaft off anywhere!!

The snap on is worth the money, they put locktite on the threads and they also seize in lots. I got tiered of beaking my bit so I put heat to them every time and they come out easy. It doesn't take much heat a propane torch should do the trick. If your really stuck just take a t40 bit and use a 1/4 wrench to turn it and heat.

Kevin since your in Ft Mac, try the Mac dealer. He has a store in the south east end of the city. Its called Serediak Sales, 280D Maclennan Cresent, 780-799-9167, its a cool store. Husband/wife run, they also have a truck that goes out. If you know where finning is in town, your pretty close, its a couple streets to the east of them. Snap-on up there sucks as a dealer.
