Title: What size are the allen bolts in my manual hubs?
Post by: OHEARN.2012 on January 24, 2012, 03:29:19 PM
ok so i went through a whole coffee can of allen wrenchs trying to find one that fit the bolts in my dana 44 and i came across one that kinda fit but wasnt a tight enough fit because they always like to round out so i didnt try. i have a whole mm set of craftsman ones and none of them fit so i thought standard can anyone help me??

take drill bit drill them.  i have had to drill the head off before, some times the inside are alum with steel bolts. that will get the cover off then take vise gribs turn out the bolts. or get other set of lockouts. use drill bit that fits in allen head.

if they are stripped, use a flat screwdriver. had to do that before. than be sure not to overtighten next time
