Coachmoe Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Greetings! Just changed my out with a set of the SPP blue with the Snake / GT 500 logo. My car must be an early production version. The passenger side rear coil cover bolt is actually a stud with an external torx head on it. Another form listed the size as E5 but mine was on with an E6. Played the devil trying to find an E6 bit but after a bunch of phone calls I found one in a set in an Oreilly's Auto Parts store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah, mine was too. It's holding a bundle in place. Hard to see in this pic, but it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 T-30 And a 4mm socket if you have the early style fastener (closest to the passenger): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 And a 4mm socket if you have the early style fastener (closest to the passenger): The exhaust studs are like that too. I think I would'a twisted out a 12pt socket that small because they were in there TIGHT. I double nutted them and they came out with ease. If you don't have a 4mm 12pt socket you can use two nuts and jamb them together to use as a hex driver. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coachmoe Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 don't cha though... This is crazy! I used a TP27 to get my coil covers off and I KNOW I used the E6 to get that back bolt loose. WTF!!!! Pics don't lie either! I'm SOOOOO confused???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 27 is close enough to 30 that it probably worked. If the Torx was real tight ya might'a stripped it. And it IS a E6. The 4mm 12pt is NOT the same as a Torx, but obviously works.
