Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I see lots of posts here and on RennTech about the weird XZN/triple square/serrated wrench bolt head on the T96 bell housing, but no one seems to state the specific size of the bit required to loosen it. Does anyone know it?

POST 2Original post

I have no idea....but if you go get a triple square kit, they usually come with three or four bits that covers most anything.

POST 3Original post

10mm triple square. You can buy a cheap wrench driven style, and cut it down to fit. I believe others have used low profile drivers that have worked.

POST 4Original post

It's pretty high torque. My suggestion (wish I had followed this myself) is to stop at your local SnapOn truck and buy just the single socket. I haven't "yet" come across the need for any of the others in the cheaper set I bought and couldn't get good bite with the cheap one. Likely would have worked, but it didn't "feel" right, so I resorted to borrowing (then buying) a single good one and the difference was noticeable.

POST 6Original post

It's a T45 pain in the ***... You can buy this kit for $40 on Amazon OTC 5942 8-Piece XZN 'Super Short' Socket Bit Set OTC 5942 8-Piece XZN 'Super Short' Socket Bit Set I'm waiting on mine to show up. I'll be selling some tools in a couple of months when I get my 996 put back together...

POST 7Original post

Its been 2 years since I did this, but are you talking about the bolt that attaches the transmission to the engine? I want to say I ordered the socket from Pelican.. or maybe Amazon. It wasn't particularly expensive (maybe like $10) and worked fine. Nothing special about it in terms of depth that I can remember. EDIT: I just checked the pelican article - its specified in figure 9. As others have stated, 10mm. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...on_Removal.htm You can get one at Home Depot for $8.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah I was able to find one at Pep Boys. Just needed to know the size so I didn�t have to make more than one trip.

POST 9Original post

I needed a set a few years ago, and instead of waiting for my Snap-on guy, I picked up a set from Autozone. I�m still using them. I rarely use them, so if I ever lose them, or break one, I�ll probably just replace them with another Autozone set.

POST 10Original post

Some halfshaft bolts are TSquare, so a set is nice to have.

POST 11Original post

It's not a (torx) T45. The triple square is denoted XZN and the sizing is equal to the diameter of the bolt so for the bell housing you need XZN10

Good price and quality and covers just about any odd situation that needs it.
