No good reason to invent a new type, but they did. |

Re: help seat removel
A six point socket will work if you don't have that one.

Re: help seat removel
11MM socket works fine done hundreds of them with that. Rebuilding the 99-07 trucks are kinda my thing. Had every nut and bolt from one in my hands many times. Jim

Re: help seat removel
I did some research. They are inverted torx. Definitely not spline.
Inverted torx sockets are fairly cheap. And they are becoming more and more common. |

Re: help seat removel
Before going to buy new tools unless you want to, try the 11 socket.

Re: help seat removel
I bought a universal set of sockets. Supposed to work on 4-point, 6-point, 12-point, & everything in between. They claim to be able to remove rounded head bolts & I might get the chance to test that claim.
