I bought a set of GM packaged torx bits from O'reilly's. It was the only place that had them(I went to several auto/hardware stores). You might try seeing if they can order them.

I had the same problems finding a socket that would fit. I finally found a SET of torx sockets with the right size in it at Checkers/Schucks/Kragen.

Did you read the original post in this thread? He's not the only one who couldn't find it at Sears. I tried 3 different Sears outlets in Tacoma/Seattle when I lived there and couldn't find a E4 torx socket.

I believe the socket needed is an E4.
