Shady 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Just wondering if there is anybody in the Hamilton area that has a torx socket I could borrow as I am stripping my old auto gearbox and scrapping the alloy along with a s--tload of other alloy scrap. I dont have any torx sockets & need one to dissamble the box so I can sort it from steel & alloy (get more that way). So if anyone in Hamilton has one I could borrow (probably an hour or 2) that be awesome. PM me or reply on here. AND YES I am going to buy a set soon when I got some $, just no money to spare right now, so just thought I'd see if anyone can lend me one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 If you dont intend to put them back in you should be able to smack a smaller imperial sized 17 tooth socket onto it and it should open. Probably pay not to do that though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 I have a love hate relationship with torx. Love because I true believe its the best drive head around Hate because bugger all use it and I can't justify the $$$$ you need to buy a qaulity set of sockets. Sulco for the win ...

Shady 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Ive got some Would you lend me one? Im not sure on the size though? But there is F'n heaps to remove - they are all over the place! But its small one. Have got the sump pan off it and thats where all the bolts are, on the inside. Not a good sight Ashkan, what you mean by that? I just need to gut the insides which is all held together with the torx bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Sure. Cant remember what size exactly either, i think they were mostly 10's with some 12 or 14's. Ive got Koken E8,10,12,14 10 and 14 to get the bolts off (may be wrong on the 10, i know the 14 is right though) that hold the gearbox/tranny to the engine, havent cracked a gearbox open though so i dont know what the deal is inside it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 I would take a photo but dont have my camera. I only need the torx socket for the bolts inside....just need to gut it and thats it (all torx bolts) the others are normal bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
