HELP! Half Shaft Ujoint problem
I was all set to replace the half shaft joints on my 80 when I hit a road block 2 minutes into getting under the car. The bolts are not hex heads, but almost a star pattern...but not really a star. more like ridges all around the head of the bolt. Has anyone seen these? Is there a special tool to get them off? I was going to post a pic but can't figure out how.

12 point socket or a closed end of a wrench should do the trick.
