Just a regular ol 1/2 wrench, and a bar or long screwdriver of your choice. Use the box end with the angle pointing the open end to the front of the truck. If they are on really tight prop the wrench on the crossmember and use the prybar/screwdriver to turn the driveshaft at the axle. Royal pain in the arse with the fine thread bolts. I just rebuilt the cv joint on mine so a little patience and you got it.
