The subject bolt head may round off during removal with a conventional wrench or socket. To eliminate this condition, a socket type wrench may be
made from a 3/8-inch Allen head bolt and a steel rod.
FIGURE 12
Cut the Allen head from the bolt and weld the head to the 6" rod. The rod will serve as a handle (Figure 12). In addition, the recess in the Allen head fits
the 5/16-inch head in the differential pinion shaft lock bolt precisely.
