One of the "surprises" I found and perhaps many others found the first time they popped the hood on their Crossfires is that the Germans primarily use torx screws on the engine. I have a couple of very small torx screwdrivers in my toolbox but was wondering: Does anyone know of a set of torx screwdrivers that will fit all of the screws found on a Crossfire?

 

home depot sells them. there used a lot in the machining world. the sell a black and decker screwdriver set for ten bucks that has them and a bunch of other things. or a husky brand that has them in the handle for $5.

 

The Husky set has very, very small torx screwdrivers more like the kind you would use on small electronics. I guess the real question is what size torx screws are used on a Crossfire engine?

 

the air filters i believe were t15, they also have separate ones over by the drill bit accessories so you can buy up to i believe t40.

 

Funny this thread was just posted because just yesterday I went to change my air filters for the first time and discovered the torx screws. I went to Home Depot ironically but found they only sell one very small set there. I guess I will go to Sears because they have a large selection of tools. My next question is are they made in American and Metric sizes ? If so I assume Germans used Metric. Anyone know the answer to this one ??

 

I've got a set of Torx sockets that I picked up at Wal-Mart about 4 years ago that has served me well.

They're made by Stanley and are a mix of 1/4" and 3/8" drive sockets. Inexpensive, and they have a lifetime guarantee. (Have one fail, give Stanley a phone call and they'll mail you a new one).

 

Torx drivers come in standard sizes, T10, T15, T20, etc. The bigger the number, the larger the driver. The bolt threads may be SAE or Metric, but the holes for the driver are the same. Hope that makes sense.

 

its a standard size no german or american.

 

I got it. Just need to pick up a set of the med/large ones. Thanks to all who replied.

 

Funny you should ask since I'm pretty sure that Fenwick is a tool manufacturer in Europe.

Oh, and BTW get yourself a set of Tamper Proof Torx sockets while you're at it... You'll need them... Specifically if you ever need to replace your drive belt...
