Anyone know who manufactures these special 12 point tools? Is there an alternative?

The socket type I bought was $23 with tax.
There is no alternative! After checking several local auto shops I finally flagged down 2 Tool trucks, and grabbed one from the second. Mac tools was the first one. Snap-on had it!
Torx do not work
pipe wrench do not work
vise grips do not work

Make sure the "socket" is free of grease, grim or the tool will slip and getted bunged up.

A local teener says If you're pulling the engine, find out which CV joint is bad and Saw through that axle, and find a new half shaft with a good CV since you have to replace it anyway.
