Car Forum / Saab Cars / July 2007Torx socket for 2002 9-5 brake caliper
I was surprised to find out that my 2002 9-5 had big Torx screws holding the brake calipers. I tried to use a 12 point 5/8 inch socket to remove the screws but it rounded the screw heads. Does anyone know where can I purchase this special socket? Thanks >I was surprised to find out that my 2002 9-5 had big Torx screws holding >the brake calipers.

Thanks A local Autoparts store, Sears if you are in the USA, hardware store, etc. They're not all that uncommon. >> I was surprised to find out that my 2002 9-5 had big Torx screws holding >> the brake calipers.

For that size they are uncommon. Sears didn't have this size and neither did Pep Boys if that tells you anything... >I was surprised to find out that my 2002 9-5 had big Torx screws holding >the brake calipers.

Thanks If a 5/8" fit inside the Torx screw, you likely need a T80 bit (yikes!) Here is one at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/59TX-T80-Dr-Torx-Screwdriver-Socket/dp/B000JP2SZ6 and it uses 3/4" drive. I won't shock you with the price, but a T70 socket costs about 10% of what this costs (also at Amazon). Here is the chart I used to determine the size http://www.wihatools.com/Marketing/torxspec.htm. I hope this helps. Good luck. Walt >> I was surprised to find out that my 2002 9-5 had big Torx screws holding >> the brake calipers.

I know Sears doesn't I'm pretty sure mine is a Sears/Craftsman... from the rack with all the hundreds of individual sockets and drivers on it. But, the local autoparts store will have one too. >Thanks for the last link, Walt. According to the table I need an E-20. >All I need to do now is find out who has got one.

Thanks Torx bolts are hardly unusual, and should be widely available. |
