I thought so! The socket was a 5/16 12 point. I also got the bearing / hub apart from the trailing arms last night. Not sure if they are re-build-able or not. Probably going to just get an assembly already built and put it on my trailing arms.

Thoughts?

Doh! Now why didn't I think of that! Great idea! I ended up using about ten Diablo blades at $8.50 a piece. Now I have ten blades with no teeth left on the tips....
