Default Axle bolts
What is the size of the hex socket needed to remove the front axle from the trans, and where can you buy it?

It's a special bolt and it is not a hex head. People have posted it's name and where to buy it.

Purchase Lisle bit and you will most likely regret it (I did). Buy a SnapOn one.

Default I got a VIM kit from amazon.... genius is good too, but the genius kit did not have the
trans. drain plug size.... ~$30 shipped. Btw. I don't think VIM is very good... Genius is supposed to be good though.
