Thread: Panhard rod e-torx size

I've removed one using a standard socket. Can't remember whether it was 6 or 12 point though. A good tight fitting socket should work.

I recently fitted a set of SuperPro bushes so had to remove the panhard rod, a standard 12 point socket will be fine, the bolt should be torqued to 200 NM so it's tight but not blood vessel busting tight.
Make sure the socket is a good fit though, can't remember the size needed.

These bolts have thread locker on them as well (blue), as well as the locking ring and the 200Nm. It makes unduing them tough. Try to get as much clearance as you can under the vehicle.

When I took mine out I used a standard 12 point socket. Very snug fit and no damage. Just sore muscles at the end of it

Managing in confined spaces, with ageing limbs and tendons, an $80 12V 250Nm electric rattle gun with a torx socket is well worth it!

I have been slowly buying Ryobi +one 18V gear, looks like it's time for the impact wrench

I couldn't get mine undone for the life of me - Yeh I know. ....

So I put an extension pipe under the chassis on the driver's side and dropped the car from offroad to access -than did it! Had to use a jack for the rear though.

My mate Danny has a saving "Let the tools do the talking" .. that's usually when the big breaker bar comes out.

Sounds like these buggers are going to be fun
