I have removed the u joint from the wheel end of the drive shaft and now would like to remove the 4 bolts that fasten this u joint bracket to the flange.

What size bolts are these. A 9/16 is too small and a 5/8 is too large. A 15 mm is too small and 16 mm is too large. Have mine rusted to an oddball size?

Went and checked mine, easy with the body off, they're 5/8 and mine is a 73 they should be the same. If your bolt corners have been rounded off you may need a good six point socket or visegrips.

Thanks for the response.

Looks like I have more rust issues. I have my body off and it sure helps.
