bought a Allen driver to fit my impact driver, went home and gave it a shot. After several blows on the bolt the head was "stripped." So I resorted to Plan B by drilling out the bolt. This did slight damage to the hub because the bolt has a slightly tapered head. I think I will replace that bolt with a cap screw. If that doesn't work I may have to replace the hub. At least now I can completely disassemble the front hubs to clean and inspect the wheel and king pin bearings. Rodney Frey -----Original Message-----
