i'm swaping gear ratios on an lsd form 3.7 to 3.9 i need to borrow the tool from someone in colorado to get the diff splines out thanks in advance jeff

Just the other day, I saw a small set of craftsman torx sockets at Sears. Snapon also carries them. Call a snapon truck or buy the one you need online: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?item_ID=14957&group_ID=2358

a standard torx won't work it has to be deep

i thought it was a torx to, but it's not. it is a speciality tool it needs to be deep

edit: if i had any money at all i'd buy one, that's why i'm asking if any one has one i can borrow

Replied to your PM Jeff..and yes I do have one, just did that swap myself on the lifted sedan.

If you use a 9 or 10mm deep 6pt socket 1/4" drive, it will fit over the torx bolt and you can use it to break it loose.

 

I used craftsman and they didn't strip or break. And the bolts were stuck bad.

Might be okay for taking it apart but for re-torquing I would use the real tool.

that was my thought shawn,

i'm gonna try to meet with keith later this week and git-er-done then thanks for the help all

Doesn't need to be a deep socket - just has to be a 1/4" drive E-10 torx. I've got two from Matco that work great and are impact rated.

Jeff, I think you should borrow a dictionary first:grin:

 

I got one but there are people closer to you obviously...
