whats the size of...

[levelgrape]

I am trying to pull out the stupid center seat thing up front and noticed a different style bolt torx i guess what size is that holding it in

[FeeD]

if it's the bolt i'm thinking of...a 12-point socket will fit on it, not sure the exact size

sears sells torkz (SP?) head sockets pretty cheap...it's a good investment too.

yea its a weird bolt....its a reverse torx..im not sure what size because I cannot remember...ive been told that only snap-on makes the socket for it but that accusation could be false...I had a snap-on guy take mine out a long time ago after I had a frustrating time with it

I have a 2002 ext cab and am dealing with a similar problem. The front seat is held with external torx nut in front, screw in back. I believe the front is E16 or E18. I'd like to know for sure myself before I go looking for the socket.

It would be great if someone could tell the exact sizes.

Thanks,

Ok, I just bought a set of torx sockets at Sears. The largest socket is a E16 which fits the rear bolt of the front seat. So, the front is probably an E18 socket. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks,

there's a postwhore around here named nick99chevy or something like that, i'm sure he would know...i saw he pulled all of his seats out, so my want to do a member search and pm him. Hope this helps..sorry i don't know the exact size, but i don't have a middle seat.

The one for the back is an E14 (for external). The one for the front is an E16 but it won't fit on (this one's a nut and the bolt sticks up too far.) A 15mm deep 6 point fits perfectly. Advance Auto Parts sells the set of external Torx bits for about $11. Good to have as you need one of the smaller ones to adjust your headlights.
