Long T55 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

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.

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

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?

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.
