Most common torx sizes?
 

hey jeepers...have to rip everything out so I can POR-15 the inside of my
rusty sahara...anyone know the most COMMON size torx bits used on the jeep?
98 TJ?

I dont have any, and will run out to sears tomorrow...dont really want to
buy a whole set if there are bits that are never, or just rarely, used. T-50
and T-55 for sure I think...what else? Thanks!! 0|||||||0

Re: Most common torx sizes?
 

Buy a complete set, it will be cheaper in the long run.
To answer your question: T15,T20,T25,T27,T30,T55 (not sure what the w/shield
or door hinge sizes are on a TJ... maybe T40)
Some sets don't come with a T27 but it's very popular in Jeeps... most
people get pissed off with Torx when they break or strip because they're
using a T25 on a T27 bolt. You'll need the biggun' T55 for seat belt bolts.
If you were to buy them individually it would cost more than a set - do the
math before you spend. Try to avoid 1/4" drive torx sockets above T20... way
too much strain on a small ratchet.
