Front axle removal tip
Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2007 2:55 pm
I just discovered that my Craftsman 13/16" 3/8-drive spark plug socket (Sears P/N 43325) has a hex on the back that perfectly fits the recess on the R12R's front axle. Just remove the rubber insert, insert an extension from the "wrong" side, and, presto, a zero-cost axle removal tool.
