Totally agree. I used a vice for a bunch of them. But eventually I found a couple sockets and a ball peen hammer to be quicker and easier. And its good practice for a trail repair.
Buy two 6pt spanners and toss them in thw glove box and forget about them. They take up almost no space and will be there when you need thwm in a pinch.

The sad part is that I have done an engine swap and a transmission swap with just the tools I keep in my truck.

Part number?

I've become aware of a new vibration and think I'll change all 4 U-joints. Is the consensus to go with GKN? What is the part number and are all 4 the same?

1988 110. But to complicate things it has a Disco 300Tdi installed. Who knows which parts were kept at the back of the LT230.

Good source for GKN?

Thanks,

Mike

Buying a grease gun and using it every 3k really does make a difference.
