I'm doing fork/steering head maintenance this week. The forks are off, and I was getting ready to pull the upper and lower steering head clamps so I can grease the bearings. I have the special Yamaha steering head locknut wrench to remove the locknuts, but I have a question. I didn't recognize that weird star shaped hole on the wrench so I looked it up on line and found out it was called a double square. Various sites talked about specific double square bits, but I see that the 3/8" drive on my ratchet (and my 3/8" ratchet extensions) fit inside the double square hole. Have any of you used this wrench with just a 3/8" drive and extension, or do I have to get some sort of a special double square bit? I can't say that I've ever seen one at Lowe's, or a hardware store, or an auto parts store, but I've never really looked for one either.
Some guidance from someone who's done this would be appreciated, before I wreck the locknut wrench and have to get another one.
I've included a photos of the locknut wrench, and the ratchet and extension, so you can see what I'm talking about.
