John,
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.

Dennis,
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.

John,
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.
