Support Team Shaun_E Posted October 13, 2004 Support Team Share Posted October 13, 2004 Just about to take the clutch cover off and I find that the bolts are like a reversed torqx bolt i.e. the bolt head looks like a 6 point torqx driver. Is there a bodge or do I need the special tool? Any idea if Halfords do it? A 1/4" socket fits over the bolt but I'm afraid of rounding the bolt off.

F355GTS Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Shaun that's unsual, sounds like they are a ~Torx fitting, are you sure you are undiong the correct ones, it's the 6 ones set in a recess at the outer edge of the clutch cover, normally just a 10mm std bolt head I've probably got the socket you need if it is the torx/ spline type Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted October 13, 2004 Author Support Team Share Posted October 13, 2004 Mark - yep definitely 6 torqx type bolts - I thought I was going mad. I am getting a bit worried about my engine as the block doesn't look like the pictures that Dave sent me (see other thread) so I can't even really mount the engine side on to the stand - I am missing some of holes in the block. If I can't source the socket tomorrow then if you have the right size I'd be really grateful. Thanks, Shaun Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micksmetafors Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 They are male type torx bolts. Halfords do a set of the sockets, bit awkward to get ontowith the Valeo clutch cover. other makes might be easier. Hope it helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
