I don't know why they used such a strange fastener? Let me walk out in the garage and see how many point head the bolt has.

Well, 6 point of some sort?

brickhardmeat · 04-20-2007, 10:12 PM

That's the one.

Where is a Toyota Tech when you need advice?

It is a Torx socket. You can get a full set at Sears (Lisle brand) for under $10. You'll need them if you do any work behind the dash, as well.

actually its called a star socket they come in e- sizes i.e e-4 e-8 you know. the torx bit is actually the exact same as the bolt itself. like the male version instead of the female the torx bit is kinda like an allen key but like a star
