E torx for header install

[jakhammer]

i want to grab some etorx ratching end wrenches before I tackle my header install. What size do I need? Any particular brand that works best? Anything else I need to know? Just want to be as prepared as possible. I want a smooth install. I know its time consuming.

a 12pt 6mm works just as good, I couldn't find a external torx sold separately so I used a 12pt 6mm but didn't really need it for my Pypes LT install. a flexible head 15mm ratcheting wrench is an absolute 100% must

Doing my install in a couple days. Is it a deep or regular 6mm 12 pt i need?

For me a 1/4" drive works just fine

Can either use an inverted torx set, you can buy from harbor freight. Or just double nut it. Take a nut off one or the studs, out it on another stud with the nut already on, tighten them together, and then loosen the back one, the stud will turn out. I did it like that because I didn't feel like running out to the store lol

a regular depth 6mm 12 point socket will work, or a 6mm 12 point box wrench will work as well, not sure they even make them, but a flexible head 6mm 12 point box wrench would be ideal, fyi when I did my install I was stressing about removing the studs, I ended up only removing one stud
