Griffdowg New Member Mar 1, 2008 #2 its not a torx bolt. you need a multi-splined 13mm socket over the standard faced socket. G
Griffdowg New Member Mar 1, 2008 #3 This type, the 12point socket: Draper Draper 13MM 12PT SOCKET 1/2DR BULK not this 6 point standard type: Draper Draper 6MM 6 POINT SOCKET 1/4DR-BULK
