Hi all,
I was attempting to do a home alignment on my 914 this weekend (what a pain in the arse!). When I got to the rear to adjust the toe, I crawled under to loosen the 3 bolts holding the trailing arm on. Two of the bolts were a standard 15mm, but one was what looks to be a 12 point Torx type thingy. Is this correct? Does anybody know what size 12point bit I need? Should it even be there? Or am I looking at the wrong bolts altogether (I'm pretty sure I'm not)? I have the 12 point CV tool, but I think this one is bigger. So, whats the dealio? |

Thanks everybody. It's actually pretty clean under there, and the two standard 15mm bolts loosened without too much trouble. It's this stupid 12 point torx head that's going to give me trouble. I've decided I'm not going to bother trying to align myself, but I'd like to make sure all of the bolts can loosen to make it easier for the shop. I've got it booked for Thursday, so hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to get the 12 points out and replace them with 15mm bolts.
