Phew, thanks,
I've been digging through Haynes, Service Manuals, Chilton's, and my tool box. I couldn't find the torxes anywhere. This is looking like a lot of work. Round about how long do you think it takes?

If you are replacing the whole opti, forget all the torx stuff. You don't need it. You only need the torx socket if you are replacing the cap/rotor.

...and it's only 3 bolts that hold the opti on.

A site that might be of interest - http://www.streetillusionsracing.com...ll/install.htm

It took me around 3-4 hours, but I was going slow so as to not screw anything up...I've heard of people doing it in an hour....

Thanks for the website, that helps a lot. Ya sure do have to take a lot of stuff off to get to this sucker. Shame I don't have a small fortune to just go ahead and replace some of it.

3-4 hours seems awfully quick and I'm an airplane mechanic.
