Rear bench E10 torx head snapped off(SOLVED) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Is there clearance above? Every mechanic needs an impact driver that you set for remove or drive and then smack with a hammer. You could slot the remaining bolt head with a dremel and use the bit for slotted screws. (Driver came in a skinny metal box with two sizes Philips head and two sizes slotted.) Amazing saves with this tool over many years...Impact plus torque while being driven against, to hold, the fastener. You torque it lightly in the direction of desired rotation before impact.

No clearance.The complete splined part of the torx head snapped off leaving the washer/flat round part of the entire torx bolt.

It was not all that easy for him to do aswell.These were the rear bolts between the metal parts of the rear backrest frame.

There were lots...lotsa sparks and he took the time to use cardboard/blankets as not to damage any interior and the tint on windows.
