Does anyone have any helpful hint in regards to removing the bolt (Torx 60) from the adapter elbow on the 4.0l engine, 1995? I can put a 3/8" Torx driver into the bolt, but the wrench doesn't fit also, vice-grips just spin on the hardend driver.

Thanks

get a less wide torx bit and a thinner wrench
mine worked fine and i used the torx bits from autozone

Thanks guys, too simple of an answer for me to work out last night. You mean that someone else makes and sells tools other than Sears... I'll take my Torx 60 driver bit with me as a reference though when I stop by Autozone.

Get the Torx bit with the replaceable bit. Take the bit out and use a wrench on in, instead of using a ratchet. There's enough room that way.
