Simple question, probably straight forward answer. It's located on the wishbones and are the same as the four bolts holding the rear axle on. It's a torx bolt, but the opposite like you need a female torx socket or something. I haven't come across them before and have already rounded off one socket

I know the ones you mean, there are also some holding on the front ARB. Not sure of the size off the top of my head though

I don't even know what they are called Sad

a 10mm socket fits over them perfectly, but as soon as you stard to turn it just rounds off as there isn't enough surface area between them. At least that what happened to me on the axle.

Just had a look and it says "losen the four bolts" and thats it it sounds so simple. I'm starting to think it is actually a normal socket..

I've got the socket in my tool kit.

I'm planning on doing some car stuff this evening.
If you remind me around 6pm I can check the size for you.
