Technical Rear engine/gearbox mount torx size

[Jacob]

Hi,

Does anyone know the size of the torx socket I'd need to remove the rear engine mount?

Planning to replace the bushing with the powerflex version but don't have the tool.

Thanks
Jacob

Where can you get a bush from because i need one but ive been told i have to buy the full bracket and its deer part only?,my bracket is fone i just need to replace the bush,and my mate got the bracket off with i think a 16mm spanner,4 bolts

I think you can get the fiat mount for around £20 although I bought an uprated Powerflex bush from eBay for 21.50.

The mount has a torx bolt so need a torx socket, just unsure of the size to buy.

I've got a set of torx sockets coming before the end of the week so should be able to confirm the size then.

Brilliant, thankyou!

I didn't fancy buying a whole set as I doubt id use them much.

The set has just cost me £5.99 on eBay delivered so not expensive. I'd rather have a full set and only use one now than have one now and need a full set later for that price.

Have you got a breaker bar as well because I have just ordered one of them to. Couldn't get enough leverage under the car with a standard socket wrench.

I can't bring myself to buy cheap tools so I'd end up getting a set at 30/40 quid.

No but it's in the shopping list, I'll get one soon.

The torx bit size is e18 I can now confirm. However once I was under the car I saw that the exhaust gets in the way of undoing one of the nuts so I'm gonna do a bit of research and if anyone knows how to remove this please do say otherwise it's going into the garage to be done. It's the screw on the right side of the image. Think I just need a spanner to get around the edge.

Cheers, I'll get one ordered

Can the exhaust not be loosened off and moved out of the way?

Like I said in the post before I think you'll just need to use a spanner or torx ratchet to do that bolt from the looks of things
