I need to get the old steering rag joint off so I need to buy a socket. What size is it? Thanks

I just went out to look at mine, but they are both so covered in grease that I can't see them. Most likely it takes a 7/16. maybe a 1/2.

It is a 7/16" 12 point.

The cool thing about 12pt bolts is that the socket size is the same as the bolt size, example, if you have a half inch bolt then it takes a half inch socket.
