Crank speed sensor bolt

[mlj76]

Hi, trying to fit new crank sensor, but I don’t have the type of socket needed to remove the holding blot! Does anyone know the size and type of bolt! It’s not Allen key or standard bolt head?

Hello Michael,

It’s a Torx head - female - socket you need. Size ? Difficult to say from the photo. Have a look on eBay. There are a number of individual sizes, and even a cheap multi- size set for around £10. Probably not very good, but should do for single use. 
Let us know how you get on, and what size it turns out to be, thereby helping others in the future. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Female torx socket loads on eBay, female because the bolt is male.
