The $2.30 tool shift slide holder has a $20.00 shipping charge. Great video by the way.

Have to do my Alpha 1 Gen2 bellows and your video and tools listing is excellent! After going through all of the tools, I have two questions. What size is the shift cable socket. I know that the nut size is 3/4" just would like the 6 point socket size. Also can you tell me what the size of the Home Depot Test Plug is that you used for the Drive Shaft Bellows? Everybody struggles with that part but your solution is pure genius!

Yes 3/4' nut and 3/8 or 9/16th I believe for the deep socket. The tool from Home Depot is the 4 inch tool. Thanks for watching.

Helluva painful project. Im doing the gimble bearing, bearing seal, u-joint assembly, trim and limit, bellows, shift cable, speedometer connector, synthane washers. This job cost a small fortune, even doing it yourself. Tons of reading, note taking, video watching, wrestling with cheap parts. I have 4 work sessions left. Been doing it in my spare time for three weeks. The u-joints where a nightmare. Don't buy a cheap bellows kit. I'll be doing this job again in a few years, I'm sure.
