E8

I went to my Sears over the holidays and asked for the "female E8" torx socket. They sold me a set of them which happened to include the 8. Assuming you are tackling the same job I am in replacing the CPS relay on back of block.... I am going to use my new tool this weekend to get the sensor replaced.

If you need more information about the labeling of what Sears calls it, PM me as I have the package still in my garage.

Thanks,

It's actually a torx bit set if I recall - picked up a 7 piece set from Sears a while back to pull the steering wheel in my SLK. This is for the "bolt" head that has a "cut out" for the bit, rather than just a bolt head?

If it's just a torx headed bolt, most 12 point metric sockets work pretty well.
