Topic basically says it all. Trying to loosen the fill bolt on the differential, but I can't get it off. Was stripping it with a combination wrench. Would need a 23mm 3/8" drive 6 point socket to put on there to get it off, but I can't find anyone that sells one. Went to Sears and Harbor Freight and neither one had one. A 1/2" drive one is too long to fit in the space because the 1/2" socket wrench is thicker. So anyone know where I can get the socket?

Don't use a socket. Buy a wrench. Sears has them. I had to get one to change the oil in my diff.

i used a wrench to take mine off.

sears should have the socket.

I have a socket that will fit. But I can't get the socket and wrench on at the same time. I had to get a wrench.

all the wrenches are 12 point. i'd need a 6 pointed one, and as far as I know, there isn't such a thing as a 6 point combination wrench

ok after some more searching, I found that snap on carries one.

Don't waste your money on the socket because you won't be able to get a driver on it. A 23mm box end works just fine, 12 point or not.

I can't use a combo wrench guys, my 12 point 23mm combo wrench stripped corners on the fill bolt on my differential, so I'll either need a 23mm 6 point socket to get it off, or drop the differential and put in a vice to get the fill bolt off.
