I have a U-joint in 3/8" but the joint itself was too big.

I wound up making my own tool for this. I got cheapie 6mm allen and socket. Cut off about an inch of the allen and slightly bent it. JB weld it into the socket and it provides just enough clearance to get it going.

I like the idea of the wobble. I'll definately get one of those, and a 1/4" U-joint, for the next time the seats have to come out.

Thanks for the ideas.
