I went to change alternators today and realized I didn't have the proper size torquex bits to do the job. The bottom one is larger than the top one. Anyone know the sizes I'm looking for? I'd like to stop at Sears tomorrow morning on my way home from work and pick up what I need. Thanks!

 

Anyone???

 

Guess not

 

I didn't have the bit either, so I put a death grip on it with some curved jaw vice grips and got it off like that.

edit: they are called torx.

 

Thanks for clearing up what they're called Angel.

I stopped at Sears today and bought three since I wasn't sure of the size. The top one is a T40 and the bottom is a T50 for those who care.

(And by the looks of this thread, that's not too many. )
