What torx bits to buy

Robti · 18th March 2021, 22:16

Hi need to add to my sockets with some torx bits, mainly to get the slider pins out at the rear of my car brakes, so any sets recommended, I was looking at Halfords advance but at around £5 a bit it adds up.
Thanks

Slider pins on the rear and front brakes is a 7mm Allen key, below tools to use

Note the Allen key with blue handle, this was to long when i bought it so cut off about 25mm which is used in a socket, after loosing with the Allen key.

Torx 50 for the grub screw on the disc.

I believe the Torx 50 is used by many members to remove the front seat sliders from the floor. Some say a Ribe 8 fits better and others reckon a Torx Plus 50 has the best fit. The suggested reason is that the seat fittings actually vary. So, if you think the front seats will ever need removing (for fixing air bag connectors, etc) it would be worth getting all three.
