They are triple squares....I am guessing due to a high torque spec.

Default By driveshaft, does he mean the rear driveshaft? Because they are hex. The front axles..
are triple square.

Default AutoZone and CarQuest both carry them, not so sure about Sears though. I know Sears doesn't make a
T-27 torx wrench/bit (for removing tip tranny pan). Strange.
