Subject:      87 Syncro axle help needed
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


To all,
            I am looking for a little advice on this.  I have an 87
syncro and I removed the tranny for repairs.  At the same time I decided
since I have it out I should take the axles out and re-boot them.  The
issue is that I can not get the bolts of that attach the rear axle to
the wheel.  They are in that protective housing.  It looks like they are
6mm allen heads or that 12 piont 6mm torx bit.  I can get the imact
wrench on it but they are in so tight I am going to strip them trying to
get them out.  Is there a trick I am missing.  I could say screw it the
boots are not in bad shape the ones on the tranny side are but I can get
to those.  Is their an easier way or do you have to use shear brute
force to get them out.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
