Bellhousing star headed bolt info

[Gordo]

Hey dudes,

As advised by Laz I found the two evil star headed bolts holding the gearbox on at the top of my bellhousing mid-way through clutch replacemen on my 97 AX-15'd TJ

anyone know their size and what type of freakys socket I need for em ?

TIA

I say Gordo... what you need is a reverse Torx E-12 socket as there are two of them attaching the transmission to the engine.

Thankyou for that great info Gordo

Your welcome Gordo

For any other poor sucker taking their trans out this info may be of some use

M12 gordo is what I used.....

I used a dremel and cut those suckers out! After my mechanic mate stripped them both hammering a socket onto them to try and remove them...

Cannibal, is he still a mate and is he cheap ?

Thanks for the [belated] info dudes but that Gordo bloke told me just what I needed (apart from the obvious).

He said he found the info on the net in a writeup of a bloke swapping out a stuffed Pug gearbox in an XJ for an ax15.

Borrowed an E12 socket off a mechanic mate and have the little blighters out. Turns out they are HT too..grade 5.

Gonna get some NORMAL headed HT ones tomorrow to replace em..

Oh yeah - turns out my clutch ain't fried after all...just the skanky slave cylinder.

Am gonna post seperate re this...
