Title: Torx Size For CV Removal

HI All

Does anyone know what size Torx bit is needed to remove the CV joints on a 24V Scorpio?

Cheers
Colin

Thanks you are a lifesaver, now I just need superman to come round and loosen off the hub carrier bolts for me :)

Thanks
Colin

Colin,
the flange on the 24v drive pinion is 108mm,
the 16v's use a 100mm one and they are interchangeable, just in case you need some more clearance.

Thanks, you are a mine of useful information, I don't have clearance issues but I did need to have the drivers side driveshaft shortened by about 5mm. If I can use the 16V ones I may not need to. ;D

Cheers
Colin

PS: I have another couple of really good technical questions to test your Scorpio knowledge, I'll post them this evening. :) :)

I think it's a T-45 - I just checked on a spare driveshaft.

T35 must be the Mondeo ;)
