Hmm, ISTR coming across them on Fords as well...
camming out. Makes them great for suspension and
brake parts. You can
get a set of sockets for them for about $10.
Non-OT: it always seems to be worth buying a set when it comes to things like
this and gambling on needing at least one other size at some point down the
line. Individual "specialist" tools always seem to have a huge mark-up...
Trouble is, at least back in the UK, the walk-in stores often only carry the
individual tools; sets have to be ordered online, which is no use when you
need it right away...
