Do any of you guys know what size torx bit I need to attach the rotor to the opti. It is a small little bastard, that for sure. I heard that it is a #8, is that right? So does that make it a T-8, since that seems to be how the sizes are listed? I know the throttle body screw will work for the inverted screws, so that isn't a problem. Also, will the local hardware store or sears carry the bit I need? Thanks

 

Inverse Torx Bit - E4. If you can find a SnapOn truck, it is SnapOn part number STLE40 for a deep well version.

 

or a ghetto way to make it work is this. Remove one screw from
the throttle body top plate. Use a pair of vise-grips to hold the screw and it will remove those pesky screws in your opti-crap.

 

No, I got that one, I am talking about the regular torx bit for the two screws that hold the rotor itself on. I got the four that hold everything together. Any idea what size that one is.

Sorry, I tried to make it clear that I already got that one, but I guess I didn't. Thanks guys

 

Not your fault. I read it too fast. I don't know that one.

 

Lol, I kinda figured that would happen, since that question comes up like once a day. Tomorrow I am going to sears, so I will post what size it is for other people doing the same thing. I am just hoping this opti solves my problem.

Does Autozone sell just the waterpump gaskets? I know they come with the pump, so I don't think they sell them seperately. I am probably just gonna get another water pump though, even though this one is a week old, I have a lifetime warranty so I might as well use it everytime I can. Actually, it is so new, I can probably just reuse the gaskets.

 

Yeah, AZ sells the WP gaskets. Felpro #35072.

 

I actually think its a T10. A T8 would be very small. Y ou dhould be able to find a cheapo kit at wal mart.

I don't know, I think it is smaller than a 10. A ten is pretty common, so I think that is what I tried today, and it was too big. We will know tomorrow though. Time for me to get some snap on tools

 

It's a T9 [tho a T8 might work if it isn't too tight]

 

checker has them all! they have the inverted socket to remove the cap from the dist and they have the tiny lil ones that hold the rotor on.. just go there and look in the tool section.. you'll see them

 

Sear's carry's it, about 5 bucks.

 

I just picked up a T8 at the local hardware store and it was $1.69. Worked perfectly. Thanks for the info guys.

 

i got mine at radioshack in a little kit with a bunch of them and a little ratchet thing for like $8. They sell waterpump gaskets at AZ and O'reily's.

 

Just want to clarify that while a T8 works OK[slightly loose] it is actually a T9...
