Long T55

[Scrrem]

Gathering my tools for replacing my rear axle hub bearings. Anyone have a source for a 3/8 drive LONG T55 Torx? Everyone has long shanks up to T50 but not T55.

Check w/ Phil. Since we were able to pull mine he must have had one.
Come to thisnk of it, may be we used an extension...

I think I used a regular T55 with 3/8 drive extensions to suit.

How about scheduling a MD so some of us can come help/supervise?

Thanks Phil. Hey Thanks Tom, didn't see that set at Sears and wasn't sure how much clearance there was in that rear knuckle for a shorty. Jim, I will schedule a MV MD once I get the parts. I think I will be doing headers before this job though and I know no one wants to help with that job :mrgreen:

I will come help put headers on your car. (If it is scheduled on a day I am not working.)

Are you planning on replacing the suspension bushings when you replace the hub bearings?

Thanks Jim. I'll schedule is on a day when you and DARRIN can come. I know how he is so looking forward to doing another hearder install :mrgreen:.

Yeah, that's the plan. I was talking to Yun the other day since he has been down this road already.

My suggestion is do bearings, u-joints and all rear bushings simultaneously. If we have 2 teams should be able to knock it out in 8 hours or so.

FYI, Advance Auto has a set of Torx that have both long and short from about T10 to T60. They are pretty cheap, though they aren't made here. AmPro is the brand. They've worked fine for me so far. The long ones are about 2" long, not crazy long.
