I searched ours, but no luck. You are right, the "help" didn't have a
clue what I was talking about.

That was the case with my shop as well - you've seen it -- so I spent

didn't find the set of triple squares!  I'm setting aside a special

its a special one, there are 2 different ones, one for the older 
engines, and one for the 60x engines.  I have both, somewhere.  But if 
you have seen my garage, you would know that I will probably have to buy 
  new ones next time I need one.  I got my from samstag sales or 
whatever that is.

Thanks for the offer, but I decided to order a set, in case I find
another size somewhere, sometime, that I need. I figured it would get
here about the same time either way.

AH HA!  Couldn't remember what it was, therefore couldn't find them
anywhere. It seems that they are mail order only from Sears now.  I
used to have a set - used them to R&R the CV joints on the VW bus -
way back when. Can't find them now that I need them -

It's a triple square.  You can get it at one of the high quality tool  
dealers (Snap-On, Mac, etc).  I doubt that Sears will have it.  You  
can also try a high quality auto supply store (Napa, for instance).   
Probably have to order it, but they are out there.  Make sure you get  
the long one, some of those are pretty deep.
