John,
<div>The 3/4” drive socket, Craftsman 2 3/16”, machined to remove radius worked perfect on my BJ7. Not sure how many points as I don’t recall at the moment. I’ll check when I return home tomorrow. If the BJ8 is the same sad BJ7 I have no doubts.</div>

<div>Dennis,</div>
<div>I'm not sure how a standard hex or 12 point socket would work on the octagonal nut. I've seen a few posts where they had modified a standard socket by welding on a plate with an octagonal cutout, but I don't have a welder. I was hoping to source something
that works right out of the box. I'm checking with local club members to see if anyone has one to loan.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">You’ll find a 2 3/16” socket will work, however, I had trouble with the radius on the socket edge engaging the very thin nut. I took the socket to a machine shop and had the radius edge removed and it worked very well. I would be happy
to loan you this now very specialized socket. Let me know.<o:p></o:p></p>
