Torx Sierra diff bolts
Quick question as I have search to no avail.
What is the size of the Torx drive bolts on the sierra 7.5 inch diff?
Is it a Torx or a star drive or are they the same thing?
I have heard its a t50 torx bit. True or False?

Yeah that is where I got the t50 from. Doesn't seem to mention the bolts that connect the drive shafts to the diff. (unless my print out has
missed some bits off, which is not unlikely)

3rd'ed!
Cut off the old ones, its not worth knackering a torx bit (and it WILL!). just cut the heads off and replace them with M8 x 50 normal capheads
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
