Torx bolts
Trying to get the gearbox out to replace the slave, next step is to remove the mount on the right hand driveshaft. Two bolts apparently on the KV6, I can just about see one of them, seems to be a Torx kind, anyone know the size please? Will a standard spanner grip these or am I off to the tool shop?

It's an E22 socket. Please don't mangle it people have been strangled for less!

Aren't they 12 sided bolt heads? seem to think a 14mm socket will fit.

Going to attack the carrier tomorrow with the new socket, takes it out of you lying on your back but at least I can see the bolts now having removed a small heat shield. Thanks anyway for the thought |

While grateful for Fred Byrne’s input, a second most highly valued opinion confirmed Phil-T4’s reply about a 14mm socket doing the job of releasing the carrier bolts.
So set about instructing my younger apprentice (my daughter) who has now removed the bolts with a standard 14mm socket and spanner. Fortunately I’ve not opened the newly purchased Torx set and will be returning it to the tool shop. Regards |

Sorry if I gave you a bum steer. I blame my techncal advisor. I threatened to replace him but he said what do you expect when I pay my advisor with half a tin of dog food and a few handfuls of dog biscuits per day. For that apparently I get 24 hour security and expert technical advice. He still maintains that E22 is correct. You can't put a good dog down he says.
