I looked in the haynes manual and there is no reference to the size/type of socket needed to remove the pinch bolt. It appears to be a 12mm thin wall 12-point, but I can't confirm this - anyone know>

12mm is correct- I just posted this a couple of weeks ag

have fun Jon- lots of PB blaster and patience. Be careful I knocked the camber bushing out and it gave me a fat lip as it flew out! I was thankful it came out though!!
 






Thanks for the warning!

These knuckles are giving me a tremendous headache. After further examination, it appers one of the bolts' head is stripped - that's gonna be some serious fun :confused:
